A parent might reach for this book when their teenager is grappling with the heavy weight of grief or feeling trapped by circumstances beyond their control. This darkly seductive witchy thriller follows three girls: Zara, who is mourning her murdered sister: Jude, a billionaire's daughter cursed by a demon: and Emer, a witch who sells spells to desperate women. As they unite to track a serial killer, the story explores the lengths one will go to for justice and the power of female solidarity. While the atmosphere is intensely gothic and deals with mortality, it provides a cathartic space for teens to process complex emotions like rage and powerlessness. It is best suited for older teens (14+) due to its visceral imagery and mature themes of loss and sacrifice.
