A beguiling novel of revenge, deliverance, and a powerful sisterhood of magic by the Washington Post bestselling author of The Vine Witch and The Glamourist. Sidra didn't murder her husband. Yet even a jinni can't wish away a wrongful imprisonment. Determined to prove her innocence, she returns to her adopted home--a French village renowned for its perfume witches--with her friends Elena and Yvette by her side. Here is where Sidra's true destiny awaits, but danger also lurks in the village's narrow lanes. On her trail is Jamra, another jinni, who's after more than revenge for the murder of his brother. He also seeks vengeance for the indignities inflicted on jinn by mortals over the centuries. When he learns of an ancient relic capable of unleashing chaos on the world, and that the weapon is in the hands of his murderous sister-in-law, he vows to destroy Sidra to get it. Relying on a sisterhood of magic, a mysteriously faithful dog, and a second-rate sorcerer, Sidra defends herself using the village's greatest asset: its perfume. It's as beguiling a lure as it is a formidable shield. But is it enough for Sidra to protect herself and those she loves from powers yet to be released?

I really enjoyed this book, I just think that I was very partial to Elena's thought process and her way of sorting through problems from the first book. I think different people will resonate with Elena, Yvette, and Sindra in different ways and can leave you feeling different ways depending on the perspectives in the books.

Now for the books themselves, the sisterhood of magic in this series is truly wonderful and feels authentic to how real people become unlikely friends. I adored the entire series, and it's definitely one that shows how different people have completely different perspectives of the same incidents and why that matters in our real, daily lives.

I have received this book from Netgally in exchange for an honest review. 
This book is the third in a series and while you could follow the story without having read the previous two, it would hinder the depth of understanding of the plot and the characters.
I have read the first book, the Vine Witch, and absolutely loved it – one of my favourite books last year, but I did not read the second book so some of the interactions mentioned and the characters were unknown to me. 
This is the story of Sidra – a jinni, Yvette – a Fee and Elena – a vine witch, and their attempt to help Sidra escape her brother in law, a very powerful and vengeful jinn.
The book is beautiful written and the plot well developed. The characters are likable, but I personally would have liked the book to be a bit more detailed and longer for more depth.
