A review by zaineylaney
Mayhem by Estelle Laure

4.0

This book wasn’t really what I expected. Actually, I am not sure what i expected. It reminds me a lot about movies in the 90s, especially Practical Magic. A girl and her mom return to the home they left. The girl discovers she comes from a family of witches, kind of.

So basically, this is a hard plot to explain. But it is about family, discovering yourself, and decisions in your life. Mayhem and her mother are running from abuse, but how does that abuse shape their current view upon returning home?

My critique of this book is really that the ending wasn’t as satisfying as I wanted it to be. I felt like it kind of wrapped up, but there was an uneasiness to it that I can’t describe.
