ARC Review: The Dolls by Kiki Sullivan

Synopsis:

Eveny Cheval just moved back to Louisiana after spending her childhood in New York with her aunt Bea. Eveny hasn’t seen her hometown since her mother’s suicide fourteen years ago, and her memories couldn’t have prepared her for what she encounters. Because pristine, perfectly manicured Carrefour has a dark side full of intrigue, betrayal, and lies—and Eveny quickly finds herself at the center of it all.

Enter Peregrine Marceau, Chloe St. Pierre, and their group of rich, sexy friends known as the Dolls. From sipping champagne at lunch to hooking up with the hottest boys, Peregrine and Chloe have everything—including an explanation for what’s going on in Carrefour. And Eveny doesn’t trust them one bit.

But after murder strikes and Eveny discovers that everything she believes about herself, her family, and her life is a lie, she must turn to the Dolls for answers. Something’s wrong in paradise, and it’s up to Eveny, Chloe, and Peregrine to save Carrefour and make it right.

My Review:

4 stars

I was sent a copy by the author in exchange of an honest review.

What can I say? I really enjoyed this book :)

I am from the south so I loved the southern setting of the book. The characters were quite interesting and I really liked the fact that they are teenagers and they actually acted like teenagers. At times they could get on my nerves but when I think about it, I did similar things at that age (minus the magic of course). I was learning as I went and these characters are learning as they go as well. I loved the mystery, voodoo magic, danger, and family secrets. This book only left me wanting to know more and the ending…wow. Kiki Sullivan wrote an amazing and intriguing adventure for readers to experience along side The Dolls (who can be a little snaky at times), and the other characters of Carrefour.

NEWS: The Story Foundation and Depth of Field (The Golden Compass, About a Boy, Twilight: New Moon) have partnered to create a television series based on the book!

Author:

Kiki Sullivan is the author of The Dolls series. Like the main character Eveny Cheval, Kiki used to live in New York and now calls the American South home. Unlike Eveny, she finds it impossible to keep her rose garden alive and has been singlehandedly responsible for the unfortunate demise of countless herbs. She may or may not have hung out with queens of the dark arts, strolled through creepy New Orleans cemeteries at night, or written the first book of this series with a red-headed Louisiana voodoo doll beside her computer.
