Review
When Lavender's father dies in an accident, she is invited to visit his hometown. It's a mysterious place that has secrets no outsider is allowed to unravel. But Lavender isn't like any other outsider. Her father has told her stories and she is there to fulfill one of his wishes. Whether the witches of Ajax accept her or not is of little consequence. She doesn't plan to stay there for long, anyway. Or so she thought. But her grandmother and her destiny might have something else in mind. Will Lavender be able to solve all the mysteries that shroud this small town, or will she lose herself?
Overall, the story is intriguing and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for an original fantastical book unlike any you would've read before. If you are not afraid of exploring the boundaries between genres then this story is for you.
P.S. I'd like to thank the author for the complimentary copy. My review is an honest opinion and has nothing to do with the author or the publisher.
