Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young

 


I'm surprised that I actually enjoyed this book as I was hooked by the cover but the description was something that I actually was not sure to like. 

Everything in Saiorse is connected: families, business, traditions and of course secrets. 

14 years ago a violent fire started in the island and the body of a young girl named Lily was found. Everyone blamed August and even if no proof it was him, he was forced to leave the island with his mother. 

But the old people of the island keep saying that Saiorse call everyone back and it's true: August need to go back to bury is mother. 

The plan is to go, bury his mother and leave. He never wanted to stay in the island even when he was 18 and he knows that the people will know he's there and will not be happy. 

And they knew and was not happy: not only because they still believe he killed Lily but also because the council have a big and dark secret that they don't want to come to surface! 

The island itself have a will and will help, or not, the villagers. 

That's what she have done once and will do it again! But this time in the form of a true love and redemption. 


Secrets uncover, lies discovered, an unsolved murder and the truth about everything got me gripped in this 4⭐  story

The only thing that I was not ok was with Leoda. She have so much to tell and we only heard of her twice. She is the villain of this book and only at the end we understand how her influence go and how she put her wanting before everything else.
