Paula Wittmore was forced to leave the idyllic community of Haven Woods when she was just 16. Life has since been tough for her, now 28, and Rowan, her 12-year-old daughter. Things may be taking a turn for the better when Paula is summoned home to care for her ill mother. Paula and Rowan quickly learn that Haven Woods, where residents seem to have everything they could ever need or want, isn't as picture-perfect as it seems. The town has a dangerous dark side, one led by a circle of 12 sisters that is on the hunt for the 13th member to join their circle, and a human sacrifice is all that is needed to seal the deal.
VERDICT An eerie blend of The Stepford Wives, The Witches of Eastwick, and Desperate Housewives. Moloney's fourth novel (after The Dwelling) features a cast of bewitching characters and a creepy story that will stick with the reader long afterward.
