The town of Sparrow is haunted. Hundreds of years ago, the townspeople executed three young women accused of witchcraft. Now, the women return each year to exact their revenge by luring young men out to sea, never to return. Penny Talbot, who lives with her mother, expects this year will be no different. However, when she meets newcomer Bo Carter, she finds herself at the center of the action, desperate to keep him out of the hands of the sisters. But who can Penny and Bo trust?
I really enjoyed this novel. The sisters are an interesting combination of witch and siren and prove to be, at least somewhat, sympathetic villains. There is a major twist/reveal about halfway through, and while it isn't entirely unpredictable, I found myself glad Ernshaw took the story in that direction. My only, very minor hangup, was the ending - not bad, just not my favorite. Overall, I think this is a fun novel that I'd definitely recommend. 4.5/5
