⭐️4.5 This story was very intriguing and well written. Being in two parts, the story is split very nicely into the ‘past’ of the Clover Court and the ‘present’ (I word it this way to avoid spoiling the contents of the book). I rather enjoyed reading about the girls, and the ending had me surprised!
