A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
PRAISE FOR BOOK ONE, PERFECTLY PREVENTABLE DEATHS
'Deirdre Sullivan handles darkness in a way that instills addictive dread, but also, somehow, hope. She is a natural successor to Angela Carter - and Perfectly Preventable Deaths, a tale of rural horror, family and peril, is the Irish Gothic we deserve.' - Sarah Maria Griffin, author of SPARE AND FOUND PARTS
'This is the novel the recent Sabrina reboot wishes it could be - a thrilling, eerie exploration of sisterhood, first love and dark powers hiding out of sight.' - Dave Rudden, author of KNIGHTS OF THE BORROWED DARK
'Deirdre Sullivan has crafted a tale that is both achingly tender and unsettlingly creepy, a world where magic and love have tremendous power and devastating consequences.' - Claire Hennessy, author of NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD
'Sullivan has an eye for the uncanny, a taste for the macabre, and a gift for beautiful prose.' - Louise O'Neill
'This intoxicating, skilfully crafted novel laced with sisterhood, first love and witchcraft is sure to entice fans of Angela Carter or Melissa Albert's The Hazel Wood.' - The Bookseller, Editor’s Choice
'This book, this book. Deirdre's writing is a drug, her characters crackle and the magic is so tactile you can feel rough bark and leaves under your fingers. I swallowed this whole.' - Moira Fowley-Doyle, author of SPELLBOOK OF THE LOST AND FOUND
'Sullivan's prose bewitches in a tale featuring dark magic, supernatural predators and a plot worthy of Angela Carter' - Observer
'A dark, surreal and chilling slow-burner that'll crawl under your skin and make you wish for more.' - Culture Fly, Best Summer Reads
'Perfectly Preventable Deaths is wince-inducingly gruesome, with another properly evil villain waiting to do some unspeakable things to the unwary, but it's also frequently laugh-out-loud funny. Magic comes with a price but it's one that's worth paying nonetheless.' - SciFi Now

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for giving me an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is one of the most atmospheric, funny and also painful novels that I have read in a long time. I was sat at the edge of my seat for most of this story and it just got worse as the story went on.
I kept on coming up with my own theories whilst reading but was always thrown off by another twist and turn in the story. I have to admit that I did prefer this book more than the first one but both are still a must have read!

It's creepy, darkly humorous, highly entertaining and gripping. I liked Perfectly Preventable Deaths but this one is even better.
The dual POVs works well and made me love this well written story.
The characters are interesting and fleshed out, the world building is well done and the author is a very good storyteller.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A fantastic conclusion to one of the best YA horror series out there. Perfect as this is, I fell so deeply in love with Sullivan's characters that I would love more and more in this series simply because I refuse to say goodbye.
