About this ebook
Andrea Hannah's Where Darkness Blooms is a supernatural thriller about an eerie town where the sunflowers whisper secrets and the land hungers for blood.
The town of Bishop is known for exactly two things: recurring windstorms and an endless field of sunflowers that stretches farther than the eye can see. And women—missing women. So when three more women disappear one stormy night, no one in Bishop is surprised. The case is closed and their daughters are left in their dusty shared house with the shattered pieces of their lives. Until the wind kicks up a terrible secret at their mothers’ much-delayed memorial.
With secrets come the lies each of the girls is forced to confront. After caring for the other girls, Delilah would like to move on with her boyfriend, Bennett, but she can’t bear his touch. Whitney has already lost both her mother and her girlfriend, Eleanor, and now her only solace is an old weathervane that seems to whisper to her. Jude, Whitney's twin sister, would rather ignore it all, but the wind kicks up her secret too: the summer fling she had with Delilah's boyfriend. And more than anything, Bo wants answers and she wants them now. Something happened to their mothers and the townsfolk know what it was. She’s sure of it.
Bishop has always been a strange town. But what the girls don’t know is that Bishop was founded on blood—and now it craves theirs.

This book is definitely not for people who aren't fans of darker books. This is a book that will smack you in the face at multiple points in the book. Just when you think that you have things figured it out, something else slams you in the face. It wasn't what I was expecting at all. I'll also point out that the book is just as creepy as the cover. If not more. I love books like that though. I am kind of glad that this won't be turned into a series. (More on blog: Star's Books & Tea)

This was an extremely creepy and intriguing read. The kind that grabs hold of you, messes with your head, and keeps you up late reading. I greatly enjoyed it. This is my objective, elective review.
