Synopsis:
Welcome to the cursed town of Sparrow…
Two centuries ago, in the small, isolated town, three sisters were sentenced to death for witchery. Stones were tied to their ankles and they were drowned in the deep waters surrounding the town. Now, for a brief time each summer, the sisters return from the depths, stealing the bodies of three weak-hearted girls so that they may seek their revenge, luring boys into the harbor and pulling them down to their watery deaths.
Like many locals, seventeen-year-old Penny Talbot has accepted the fate of the town. But this year, on the eve of the sisters’ return, a boy named Bo Carter arrives; unaware of the danger he has just stumbled into or the fact that his arrival will change everything...
Mistrust and lies spread quickly through the salty, rain-soaked streets. The townspeople turn against one another. Penny and Bo suspect each other of hiding secrets. And death comes swiftly to those who cannot resist the call of the sisters.
But only Penny sees what others cannot. And she will be forced to choose: save Bo, or save herself.

Review:
I found this to be a really interesting mystery, fantasy, romance. I enjoyed the concept and liked that we got to learn about the three sisters and their past in the town as well as how it effects the town as it currently is. The town was interesting in itself, especially how all the inhabitants just accepted the fact that they were haunted for a few weeks a year. They'd even learnt how to capitalise on it.
There were some good twists and turns in it and it was fun to guess what was going to happen. The ending was rather bittersweet and while I did think the very end page or two was unnecessary overall it was a very good book.
