In the small mountain town of Jasper, North Carolina, June Farrow is waiting for fate to find her. The Farrow women are known for their thriving flower farm - and the mysterious curse that has haunted them for generations.
The madness that led to Susanna Farrow's disappearance left her daughter, June, to be raised by her grandmother. Everyone in Jasper is certain it's only a matter of time before she finds the same end, but June has kept secret that her unravelling has already begun.
After her grandmother's death, June follows a series of clues that link her mother's disappearance to the town's dark history, leading finally to a mysterious door.
Behind it may lay the answer to the mysteries that have always lingered like a dark shadow. Upon crossing the threshold, June embarks on a journey that will not only change both the past and the future, but entangle her fate and her heart in a star-crossed love.
With The Unmaking of June Farrow, Adrienne Young delivers a brilliant story with romance, mystery, and a touch of the impossible: a story you will never forget.

All I can say about finishing this book is WOW. It was fantastic and not the usual book I would ever pick up. It spans so many genres and has excellent characters. Highly recommend.
When I received this book, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. I'm very much not one to read any kind of fantasy or sci-fi type novels. That being said, WOW. I absolutely loved this book.
It is hard not to fall in love with the protagonist and narrator of the story June, as she investigates her memories and past. It was also hard not to like June's Gran, Birdie, Annie and Eamon. The characters were very well developed and I enjoyed all of their quirks and personalities.
What really nailed it for me though was how all of these little, minute things throughout the book all had a purpose, which was later revealed.... Read Full Review
