The Fifth Petal By Brunonia Barry

Summary By Goodreads:
Salem’s chief of police, John Rafferty, now married to gifted lace reader Towner Whitney, investigates a 25-year-old triple homicide dubbed “The Goddess Murders,” in which three young women, all descended from accused Salem witches, were slashed one Halloween night. Aided by Callie Cahill, the daughter of one of the victims who has returned to town, Rafferty begins to uncover a dark chapter in Salem’s past. Callie, who has always been gifted with premonitions, begins to struggle with visions she doesn’t quite understand and an attraction to a man who has unknown connections to her mother’s murder. Neither believes that the main suspect, Rose Whelan, respected local historian and sometime-aunt to Callie, is guilty of murder or witchcraft. But exonerating Rose might mean crossing paths with a dangerous force. Were the women victims of an all-too-human vengeance, or was the devil raised in Salem that night? And if they cannot discover what truly happened, will evil rise again? 


My Thoughts
Okay so lets start with what I didn't like about this book, I didn't like the constant point of view change, it really took away from the book and made it difficult to figure out what was going on who was talking/thinking. The world building was actually OK, it had a slow start but definitely got there. The character where interesting. As an overall it will definitely work your brain, the mystery was the fun, I personally didn't find it thrilling, it was a bit chilling though,
I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.

Note:
I will now be doing reviews for Blogging for Books, which has become an awesome discovery. I really enjoy getting an actual book instead of an Ebook which is really nice.
I will still be doing NetGalley, so have no fear NetGally authors/publishers i will still be doing reviews for you!
