⭐ Supernatural Horror | Guilt | Retribution

Thank you to Mad Cave Studios for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Flow follows a group of friends who spent their childhood summers together at camp, only to be haunted ten years later by the memory of Dara Lund, a girl they once tormented. Dara’s mother, believed to practice witchcraft rather than modern medicine, was ostracized by the town and later *died in a fire*, leaving behind a legacy steeped in rumor and tragedy.

In the present show more day, Moe, now working in a lab, confides in Alister about the strange and disturbing events happening around her. The story shifts between past and present as the group reunites, desperate to understand the so-called “curse” tied to Dara and whether their past cruelty has come back to destroy them.

While the premise is eerie and layered with moral tension, I didn’t feel much sympathy for any of the characters, not even Dara. The group’s history of bullying makes it difficult to root for them, and even Dara herself isn’t entirely innocent, as remnants of her mother’s dark magic seem to linger within her and she acts on it.

Flow delivers a chilling atmosphere and themes of guilt, revenge, and consequence. It’s an unsettling, supernatural tale that examines how cruelty never truly disappears, it just waits to resurface. show less

I recieved a copy of this book thanks to NetGalley and Mad Cave Studios. I am leaving a review voluntarily.

I loved the start of this book, with kid's going to camp, and one girl being bullied just because of her cluelessness involving her period. I also liked the idea of her haunting those bullies years later.

However, I felt the ending was a little weak. There was a lot going on, everything was rushed, and I just didn't feel the ending was satisfactory.
