Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Heather and Becca are best friends. Together with their other friends Rachel and Gia they start a club where they talk about serial killers and their victims. They call themselves The Dead Girls Club. One night Becca tells the girls a story about The Red Lady, a vengeful witch who will help you if you are willing to give up something you love. Becca's home life isn't that great so she needs Heather's help in order to get help from The Red Lady to escape her current life. When Heather agreed to help Becca she had no idea it would mean taking Becca's life. Heather has never ever told anyone the truth about what happened that night. Not ever. Now 30 years later someone knows what Heather did and they are determined to make her answer for it.

I really enjoyed this book from cover to cover. It wasn't that it was particularly creepy it was just interesting and well written. I really enjoyed the dual perspectives of when they were kids versus adults. The time jumps are clearly labeled with 'then' and 'now' making it really easy to follow along.

I really enjoyed the characters of the four little girls. The interactions between them was so interesting to see. Each girl had her own specific role in the circle of friends and their own personality. The girls childhood sections was by far the best part of the book for me.

I didn't particularly like Heather as an adult. I found her character to be annoying. She didn't seem to have remorse for what she did to Becca. She keeps using the excuse she thought the Red Lady would help Becca rather than showing remorse. Her main concern is not getting caught after all these years.

I really enjoyed this book. The writing was great. I love how the author was able to give me such strong emotions towards the characters. I can't wait to read more by Damien Angelica Walters in the future.
