June Farrow’s family is cursed. Every woman in her family, as far back as she can remember, has started to get “sick” at some point – seeing visions and hearing sounds that aren’t there.
After a year of these visions, her grandmother – the woman who raised her – dies, she discovers a series of strange. They lead her to believe that the red door she’s been seeing is real, and that maybe she should walk through it.
I got this book as an early release in my BOTM box, and I’m so glad I did. It was a perfect fall read!
The Unmaking of June Farrow is an enchanting and unique story, with a beautiful setting (a farm in a small town in North Carolina), a fascinating historical aspect, and characters you’ll love.
It doesn’t have a super high-octane plot, but there’s still plenty of intrigue to keep you interested. The story is a good mix of plot-driven and character-driven, and I never wanted to stop reading.
If you enjoy genre-bending stories filled with mystery, romance, and a hint of magic, I highly recommend this one!
