So this was a good book, but rather confusing.
You meet Towner, who hints that she has had some mental health issues in the past. She comes from a long line of 'lace readers' - women who read the future in lace. The book introduces you to the rest of her family, her mom May, (dead) twin sister Lindley, brother Beezer, uncle Cal and aunt Emma, and great aunt Eva - most of whom are as unbalanced as she is.
Towner returns to Salem when her beloved aunt Eva goes missing. As she unravels the mystery of her aunt's disappearance, the reader is given glimpses to Towner's unhappy and abusive childhood. It isn't until the last 50 pgs that the reader discovers the true roots of Towner's past, and how hard her sisters death has impacted her.
I give this book a 8.5/10
