Maddie Crane is a sixteen year old girl who lives in Hawthorne, MA, just miles away from the site of the infamous Salem witch trials. She’s friends with the most popular girls in school, a clique known as the Sisters of Misery. The Sisters are all from families of powerful women in Hawthorne, a legacy that goes back centuries. When Maddie’s eccentric cousin, Cordelia, moves to Hawthorne, Maddie is torn between staying a part of Sisters and relinquishing to the mystical way of life that her cousin and aunt have embraced. Her decision is quickly made for her when Maddie becomes involved in one of the Sisters’ schemes, a plan that destroys her life and the lives of all those that are close to her. While Sisters of Misery is categorized as a YA book, audiences of all ages will be pulled into the gothic style writing of Megan Kelly Hall. I’m impatiently looking forward to more from this amazing debut author.
I really, really want to read this one!!!
Ooh! I’m so glad you liked it! I thought it was fantastic and I can’t wait to see what she does next. I just ordered a copy for my sisters as well.
Yes, it was fantastic. Typically I pass on books that I’ve read to my siblings or friends. I’m holding on to this one! I emailed the author with my review and she’s already added me to the review list for her next book in the series that is scheduled to come out next year.
