So I have a confession, I actually started reading this quite some time ago but I had so much going on with work I stopped and suddenly picked it back up. I was instantly hooked on the book once again and binged the last 2/3’s quite quickly.
Here is the synopsis pulled from Netgalley:
Nestled within an enchanted forest is the Grove, a community where witches and warlocks practice natural magic, brew mystical potions, and lock their cellars against beer thieving gnomes. Life is quiet and uneventful. Well, except when Hazelâs long-lost father uses necromancy to trap her dead motherâs soul.
That simply wonât do. Necromancy is forbidden in the Grove, and for good reason too. Nobody wants filthy corpses shambling around, mussing up oneâs garden. Hazel is determined to find her father and undo his treachery.
But despite Hazelâs plans of becoming a one-woman army, she canât do everything alone. Itâs not until wild sister Holly convinces her to leave the house for once and go to a party that Hazel finds a pair of unlikely allies in two bickering warlock brothers.
Together, the four of them go on a journey that takes them out of the Grove and into a world where necromancy reigns and the dead wonât respectfully stay in the grave. Hazel will do whatever it takes to stop her father and save her motherâs soul. Even if it means turning to necromancy. Even if it means losing her friends. Because they would never help a necromancer. Would they?
