Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power, and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

My rating: 2 stars

I have a love and hate relationship with this book. There were times that I enjoyed reading it & there were also times that I hate reading it. 

Too much narration, I suppose. It could have been better if the authors let their readers work with their imagination too. As in not explaining everything and every move of the characters. Just like the other reviews, the authors could have omitted some parts of the story while the ending would still be the same
