“Free women. What this island fears the most.”

5 ⭐️

Wow! This book is dark and twisty.

Esta lives on a patriarchal island where they fear the seawomen, and every challenge the islanders face is blamed on the sins of their women. Punished by god, they must repent to be saved. Esta sees through the lies and dangerously seeks answers to questions that if she was a good holy girl she‘d ignore.

This book reminded me of the darkness of The Handmaids Tale. An amazing debut, Chloe Timms.

Currently reading an ARC of this book via Net Galley and it is so good. It‘s based on an island ruled by a fear of the seawomen. It‘s twisted religion reminds me of the Handmaids tale. It feels like a thriller with this constant sense of dread if someone, especially a girl, breaks one of the many rules.
