Blurb from Goodreads:
Aster. Violet. Tansy. Mallow. Clementine.
Sold as children. Branded by cursed markings. Trapped in a life they never would have chosen.
When Aster's sister Clementine accidentally murders a man, the girls risk a dangerous escape and harrowing journey to find freedom, justice, and revenge - in a country that wants them to have none of those things. Pursued by the land's most vicious and powerful forces - both living and dead - their only hope lies in a bedtime story passed from one girl to another, a story that only the youngest or most desperate would ever believe.
It's going to take more than luck for them all to survive.
My Review:
*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Thanks to Hot Key Books*
Aster, Clementine,
Tansy, Mallow, and Violet live and work at a welcome house. It is a
life they were sold into as children and the favors on their cheeks
mark them as Good Luck Girls.
When Clementine
accidentally kills a man, the young women manage to escape, but are
being hunted by the law and soulless men with dark powers.
Their favors marking
them as runaways, the group will need all the luck they can get to
evade their pursuers.
Can they escape for
good and find the freedom they so desperately want?
The gorgeous cover
and blurb for The Good Luck Girls both intrigued me, and I did end up
enjoying it.
The characters were
likeable and relatable, and I was rooting for them. I liked that they
had flaws and weren't perfect.
The setting was
interesting and I really liked the Old West feel to the book as well
as the supernatural elements.
The plot was good
overall, but nothing that happened surprised me that much, and I did
find my attention wandering once or twice.
There were some
tough/dark subject matters in this book, but I thought they were
handled well - trigger warnings include addiction, torture, and sex
slavery.
The writing style
was easy to follow, but I wasn't gripped.
One of my favourite
things about The Good Luck Girls was the feeling of sisterhood
between the characters.
I'm not sure if I
will read the sequel or not, but I am intrigued to see where the
series goes.
Overall, this was an
enjoyable read.
