🐉RATING: 🔥🔥🔥🔥/5 How far would you go to protect your home and those you love? What would you sacrifice? Spells for Forgetting, by Adrienne Young, is a small town murder mystery with bits of magic woven throughout. The residents of Saoirse Island are full of secrets. But when August Salt returns to spread his mother’s ashes, the town’s leaders scramble to keep their devious actions buried in the past. As the story unfolds, additional mysteries and lies are unearthed, making everyone appear suspicious. And when the guilty are cornered, they become a threat. The novel combines a cold-case murder mystery, ominous townfolk, layers of deception, and a second-chance romance. I enjoyed the duplicity of the characters and the island's foreboding messages. Young does a great job creating an atmospheric backdrop of uneasiness. A feeling of things being a bit off. Is it the magic of the island or something darker lurking under the veneer of this picturesque town? Read the book, and unlock the island’s secrets. ❓Have you ever lived in a small town?
