Description
There was something very dark about Kitrina Katim's part of the Big Thicket. It had taken Libby, one of Kit's best friends, in the dark of night when Kit was just a girl. Kit couldn't imagine leaving her life and he best friends, the Sisterhood of Cemetery Road. But leave them, she did. And she did not return until ten years later when she was forced back to sell her parent's house.
Nothing had changed, including Mad Maddie McPhearson, who lived down the road, always sitting on her front porch, always trying to make Kit's life miserable. Miss Maddie, an angry elderly woman, owned Bellewood, an old Plantation house that was crumbling around her. Kit's attemps at kindsness only fed the old woman's hatred. But Kit didn't understand why. Not then anyway.
It was that hatred that awakened dark voices in the thicket and threatening figures that terrified Kit. Was it Libby? Had she come back to them? Or was it something else, something horrifyingly familiar?
Would it be the Sisterhood, or handsome Colton or his brother Jackson, who would come to Kit's aid when the time came to do battle with the dark forces that were slowly overtaking the Big Thicket?

With. Strong “noir” feel to it, this book features some of the most intriguing characters I have “met” for a while. The mystery is great - very fast moving but not so complex that you get lost in the pace. But it is the characters and the ambience of that kind of spooky setting that really make this book great.
This is the second book in a series and I can't wait to read the next one. Twyla Ellis couldn't write a book that is not amazing. The writing is beautiful and the characters are so relatable and the story never drags. I don't usually care for the super natural but there is just enough here to make it believable. This author really has a gift.for making her characters come alive on the page. There are lots of twists and turns throughout and the ending is completely unexpected. I highly recommend this to anyone who is willing to lose some sleep because you won't be able to put it down until you know what happens next!
I love the cover of this book! I love that the book is a fast-paced read and I was drawn into by the mystery and some elements of the paranormal. I look forward to reading more by this author.
Once I started this book, I could not put it down. I found it to be very well written with engaging characters, full of mystery and secrets. I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
This book was good. Kinda like the 1st one. At yes it was a little confusing because it was so much like the first one. Dont get me wrong the author is a talented writer, but the books were too similar. Maybe next time expand on one of the towns. Maybe some more of the local lore? Just my opinion! Can't wait to read the 3rd in the series.
The Girls of Cemetery Road was delightfully spooky with strong noir vibes. I would definitely recommend it to others looking for an eerie book.
Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
