Taís's Book Review: The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw

Description:

A New York Times bestseller

Welcome to the cursed town of Sparrow…

Where, two centuries ago, three sisters were sentenced to death for witchery. Stones were tied to their ankles and they were drowned in the deep waters surrounding the town.


Now, for a brief time each summer, the sisters return, stealing the bodies of three weak-hearted girls so that they may seek their revenge, luring boys into the harbor and pulling them under.


Like many locals, seventeen-year-old Penny Talbot has accepted the fate of the town. But this year, on the eve of the sisters’ return, a boy named Bo Carter arrives; unaware of the danger he has just stumbled into.


Mistrust and lies spread quickly through the salty, rain-soaked streets. The townspeople turn against one another. Penny and Bo suspect each other of hiding secrets. And death comes swiftly to those who cannot resist the call of the sisters.


But only Penny sees what others cannot. And she will be forced to choose: save Bo, or save herself.




Taís's Review:

The Wicked Deep is a good read with an unique and interesting story line. There is a lot of depth that goes into the characters personalities, which will later cause you a fair amount of emotional turmoil as you start to discover that Penny is not who you think she is. The twists and turns will have you saying, as I did, "Whoa, I did not see that coming." The only issue I had with the book is that I was just not captivated by it. I am very easily distracted, so it is hard for me to read if I am not completely absorbed into a book's pages. When reading this, I found my mind drifting off and I constantly had to reread a lot. I went along with the ride hoping that it would get better, which it did a little, but not until the very last couple of chapters. Other than that, The Wicked Deep is vividly written and I would definitely suggest this book to those of you that have more patience than me.
