Season of the Dragonflies

Season of the Dragonflies, Sarah Creech

★ ★ ★ ★

When her marriage fails, Lucia, returns home to the family home in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where her mother Willow & Mya (Lenore) run the family business.

The Lenore business is that of a making a secret scent that has been in the family's trademark for generations. The scent empowers those who are who are carefully chosen & groomed by the family for success.

When Mya's lust for power & control of the business takes over, Mya makes several bad business decisions. Those decisions threaten to destroy the Lenore family & business forever and awakens Mya's Great-Grandmother's curse upon her.

Not being able to trust Mya, Willow, subtly shifts the control of the business over to the unsuspecting Lucia.

This is a wonderful book filed with magic, romance, & one too many happy endings (hence - 1 star). It was engaging, evocative and from the beginning to the end it held my interest.

A delightful dose of Magickal realism.
