Review: The Casquette Girls

The Casquette Girls by Alys Arden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

Seven girls tied by time.
Five powers that bind.
One curse to lock the horror away.
One attic to keep the monsters at bay.

**

After the storm of the century rips apart New Orleans, sixteen-year-old Adele Le Moyne wants nothing more than her now silent city to return to normal. But with home resembling a war zone, a parish-wide curfew, and mysterious new faces lurking in the abandoned French Quarter, normal needs a new definition. 

As the city murder rate soars, Adele finds herself tangled in a web of magic that weaves back to her own ancestors. Caught in a hurricane of myths and monsters, who can she trust when everyone has a secret and keeping them can mean life or death? Unless . . . you’re immortal.

My Thoughts:

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book. I was pleasantly surprised. There is definitely a lot going on in this book. I liked how it revealed a little bit about the past at a time, taking you back and forth between the current time and her ancestor's time. The characters were likable and the story was interesting. There are witches and vampires thrown in for all the paranormal fans out there. I will be adding this series to my TBR for the future.
