Title: Gathering Deep
Author: Lisa Maxwell
Genre: Young Adult, Fantasy
Release: October 8, 2015
When Chloe Sabourin wakes in a dark, New Orleans cemetery with no memory of the previous days, she can hardly believe the story her friends tell her. They say Chloe was possessed by a witch named Thisbe, who had used the darkest magic to keep herself alive for over a century. They tell her that the witch is the one responsible for the unspeakable murders that nearly claimed the life of Chloe’s friend, Lucy. Most unbelievable of all, they say that Thisbe is Chloe’s own mother. As she struggles with this devastating revelation and tries to rebuilt her life, Chloe wants nothing to do with the magic that corrupted her mother…especially since she feels drawn to it.
Now, a new series of ritualistic killings suggests that Thisbe is plotting again, and Chloe is drawn unwillingly back into the mystical underworld of the French Quarter. To stop Thisbe before she kills again, Chloe and her friends must learn what they can from the mysterious Mama Legba. But when her boyfriend Piers vanishes, Chloe will have to risk everything and embrace her own power to save the one person she has left… even if that means bringing down her mother.
The cover of this book looks amazing, and so does hte plot. A New Orleans cemetery? Ritualistic killings? Count me in.
I love the whole plot for this book. Witches. Killings. friendship
MY WAITING ON WEDNESDAY
So intense! I hope you love it, and thanks for sharing. Here’s mine: “SECRET SISTERS”
YES! I agree re: NOLA. Love books set there!
My WoW!
I read the first book and while Lucy wasn’t my favorite character, I am thrilled to learn more about Chloe and Thisbe. I seem to be drawn to any book related to New Orleans or Louisiana so this one is high on my list.
Haha, I feel the same way. Any book set in New Orleans and I have to read it.
Sounds like my type of read, will definitely check it out. Thanks for stopping by my blog today! 😉
