I received this book for free from Reviewer Purchase in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

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.

Short and Sweet Review

In the town of Bishop the sunflowers know and see everything. Bishop is known for sunflowers, windstorms, and missing women. One night three women go missing but no one is surprised, because this is a normal occurrence the case is closed and the daughters of these women try to pick up the pieces. At the memorial for the women, the wind reveals a secret and the four girls have to confront the lies they’ve been told and avoid becoming the next missing girl in Bishop.

The beginning of this book really sets the town and explains why Bishop is the way it is and it gets you hooked and ready to see what’s going to happen. Sadly, the rest of the book wasn’t as great as that opening. We follow Bo, Delilah, and sisters Whitney and Jude, and each girl has their own POV. I wish we only had the POV of two or maybe three of the characters, I feel like some of their dialogue sounded the same I didn’t really know which character I was reading from. We have Jude who can suddenly hear the wind, Delilah who has a boyfriend who is also seeing Jude on the side, Whitney who wants to pretend like none of this is happening, and Bo who wants answers. This book just felt chaotic and I blame that on the different POVs each girl is off doing something different and yet it seems like they’re all doing the same thing because I couldn’t distinguish between them, which also left me confused. I liked the premise, a small town with missing women, characters who want answers and who are uncovering the town’s secrets, it all sounded like it would make for a solid book but the execution was off. There were also questions that weren’t answered and some things that just didn’t make sense, like the hospital that wasn’t there, or the fact that three women just left. Anyway the ended really exposes how things were left unfinished.

Overall, I wish I liked this book the way I thought I would. I’m sure there are people who will like this book, but I feel let down.
