the thirteenth child is a dark, twisted and compelling story following hazel, the goddaughter of death who is a healer

this felt reminiscent of a fairytale, and seeing hazel grow into a woman who understands the reality of the world she lives in was so beautiful, she feels so real and fleshed out and was so lovely to read about it. the world is dark and almost spooky, making for an atmospheric read that would be perfect for autumn!

if you’re looking for a book with death, magic, secrets, a healer and a sweet romantic subplot, this is for you!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an arc!
