#BookReview: Every Gift a Curse (The Gifts #3) by Caroline O'Donoghue @WalkerBooksYA

Synopsis: A spellbinding supernatural teen drama and final book in the Gifts series from a New York Times bestselling author.

With the return of the Housekeeper on the cards, Maeve must find out everything she can about the vengeful tarot spirit in order to finally defeat her. Crossing over into a parallel dimension inside the old school building, she explores the history of the Housekeeper – and spends too long in a world and a mind not her own.

With the Children of Brigid closing in once more, and Maeve's friend group now fractured across Ireland, can they hope to ultimately save the town – and Maeve – from the grip of a power greater than they ever imagined?

Rating: 4 Stars
My Review: This would have been 5 Stars of amazing if it would have gone further.  I wished we would have gotten an epilogue set in the future to see where everyone was down the road.  As it sits though it was still really good and I could not put it down.  This story brings it full circle with a feminine twist and it was a great way to end the series.

Review

Readers will be swept up both by interesting magical elements, such as Fiona’s communication with her familiar, a magpie named Paolo, and the more ordinary, recognizable details of the changes experienced by a group of teens on the cusp of adulthood. This appealing blend of realism and the paranormal and the evolution of each of the characters in their own rights is as satisfying as the final reckoning with the Housekeeper. . . A smartly plotted end to an emotionally engaging fantasy.
