This was a fun way to start off 2018. A little bit Practical Magic, Hocus Pocus, and the dark teen mystery that reminded me of the summer I read every Christopher Pike my library had to offer.

I love small, quirky towns with their offbeat legends and ghost stories. The author did a fabulous job of building the backstory and tradition surrounding the Swan Sisters with short intro chapters interspersed throughout the narrative.

+++++The town, Sparrow, is haunted. Not year round only in summer, for a few short days. 200 years ago the Swan sisters were thought to be witches and were put to death. Each summer each sister comes back to town and haunts, and kills.

I heard quite a bit about this book before I impulsively purchased it.
The story drew me in quickly and was easy to read. It kept me turning pages to see why Bo was there, how was he important?
Would this summer be different or just like last summer?
