Goodreads Blurb

Magic is seeping out of the world, leaving the witches who’ve relied on it for countless centuries increasingly hopeless. While some see an inevitable end of their era, others are courting madness—willing to sacrifice former allies, friends, and family to retain the power they covet. While the other witches watch their reality unravel, young Alice Marin is using magic’s waning days to delve into the mystery of numerous disappearances in the occult circles of New Orleans. Alice disappeared once, too—caged in an asylum by blood relatives. Recently freed, she fears her family may be more involved with the growing crisis than she ever dared imagine.

Thoughts

I requested this book as I have been loving J. D. Horn's Witching Savannah series, and really wanted to try this out to see if it had the same magic.

Sadly it didn't, I only got 26% into the book before I just didn't want to read anymore.

The story just seemed very disjointed to me, and I couldn't understand who's POV I was reading from, and the family dynamic was just so hard to distinguish, it went over my head.

I really found this such a confusing read, and was really let down as I just expected bigger things from this book. I think my expectations were just set to high with this.
