Omg! I love, love. love this book. It's about women finding their power within themselves and trying to set the world right at the same time. Empowering women and having a voice at the table. Accepting the differences of each of us as women and what we bring to the table.

It's set in an Mattauk, NY and one woman brings two other women together to solver a murder that has happened in their small town. Nessa has a gift for hearing dead people so that she can help them find peace and closure. Harriet, has lived life by the rules of men around her, but that has stopped. Harriet quits her job as an ad executive and starts using her powers with the earth to bring justice and healing to the world. It just depends on what side you are on that you get. And lastly, but not least Jo who has had a fire and strength burning inside of her is trying to find out how to use these powers.

I loved the relationship between three women, the powers that they had and how they were used. It may be one of my favorite books of the year!

Thank you #NetGalley for the advance copy for my unbiased review

A really cool story that I thoroughly enjoyed. The characters were so interesting and the story well fleshed out. I really liked the premise and the flow of the story. I’d recommend others check it out.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the ARC.

I didn't know anything about this book before reaching it. I was intrigued by the title and cover., It was the revenge book I didn't know I needed. Each character is well-developed and I found myself rooting for all the women.

Usually I’m not super into fantasy, but this was a fun mystery, suspense story with a sprinkling of fantasy centered around some strong, powerful women with mystical, magical powers. What do they use said powers for? Solving murders and exacting revenge, of course!

Why my nose was in this book:
I loved each main character, the details of their previous lives before and currently with their special powers
I also enjoyed that one of them could talk and see dead people, personally I wouldn’t want that kind of power, but it was fun to read
The immense women power behind this story was refreshing and it was easy to root for them, even when they chose questionably moral ways to deal with a person… cough cough
The underlying serial killer whodunit was fun to play detective
I love small town mysteries and this one did not disappoint

Who doesn’t like a good revenge novel? This is a tale of three women who have been treated poorly by men for no reason other than they are women. They have reached a certain age and begin to experience some incredible powers that really allow them to take control of their lives. Through the use of these powers, they solve a very important mystery. For all women who have ever been wronged by a man either personally or in business, this book is for you. I relished every page of these women’s empowerment. A fantastic story. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review an advance copy of this book.

This is a fun and slightly spooky book. Three women are all guided by the voices of the dead that Nessa James hears. They discover a body of a teenage girl on a remote beach, and their investigation into her death leads to the discovery of more bodies. Can they work together to solve the murders?

This was great fun! So many relevant themes (sexism, Me Too, Times Up, etc) combined with a little witchcraft, horticulture, mystery, and revenge. A creative and witty story.

3.5 stars. In this magical realism tale, Nessa, Jo, and Harriet come together using their unexpected new powers--putting them on a collision course with the evil that lurks in their wealthy beach town.
This was a fast paced read for me, and I enjoyed how the book switched between different characters. Part of the book discussed the true crime obsession these days, which was one aspect of the book that I loved. I appreciated the emphasis on the victims, knowing their names, and discussion between characters that so many hundreds of thousands of women go missing every year. I'd classify this book as very good, but some things were repeated multiple times that I didn't think needed to be repeated. I don't want to say more as I don't want to spoil the book... I'm sure this will be a movie soon!
Very thankful to netgalley for this advanced copy in return for my honest opinion.

Amazing! Edge of your seat thriller wanting to know HOW and WHY? I love magical, witchy books and this definitely didnt disappoint.

This an amazing book! Harriet Osborne is my favorite character. I like Harriet's powers and how she uses them. I knew who one of the bad guys was.

I received an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley for an honest review.

Wow, did I love this book. Badass main female characters, a thrilling storyline that keeps you hooked and not wanting to put the book down. And a story that brings what women go through and deal with on a daily basis into light. Huge thanks to the publishers for the advanced copy!

The Change by Kirsten Miller is one of my new favorite books! Strong writing, strong story, but most importantly, strong female characters. These women are #goals.

There are three phases in a woman's life - education, creation, and power. Nessa, Jo, and Harriett are all women who have gone through "the change" and now have enormous gifts - powers that make them strong. But more importantly, all three stop caring what a world run by men thinks of them. These powers and attitudes come in handy as the dead bodies of young girls start showing up in there town, and they team up to bring down some very sinister men.

I seriously loved how each woman evolved in this book. Both Harriett and Jo climbed corporate ladders, aiming to gain the respect of their male colleagues. Nessa thought her life held little meaning after the death of her husband and her daughters had grown. But they each learn how wrong they were when they embrace their powers and reject the "rules." It is liberating and funny and infuriating and delightful all at the same time. The story twists and turns as these women work to bring justice to the murdered girls, all while blowing the doors open on the myth that a woman can survive a man's world by obeying a man's rules. I flew through this book and already can't wait to read it again.

Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC!

The Change is the book I have enjoyed the most this year-so far- easily. It is just witchy, feminist, fun. I would have read another four hundred pages about Harriet, Jo, and Nessa. Even though I knew how everything would work out, I could not stop turning the pages. The detailed description of their Long Island town’s is full to the point I can believe this is a place that exists. The awful experiences that unite all of the women in this book are unbelievably authentic. This book is so smart and well-written, that even when you are sure of what is going to happen, you care so much about the how that you keep going.
Thanks to NetGalley and William Morrow for the ARC!

Missed the mark.

3 feminists set out to use their supernatural powers to solve a crime in their seaside town. Starts out great and then veers into sidestories, side characters and plenty of man hating which was as overdone as parents' steaks.

I started this book exactly when I needed an angry feminist book about avenging wrongs against women. Nessa is able to see ghosts, Harriet is a green witch, and Jo feels the fire of women's rage (literally). While the book revolves around these women's magic the issues the book addresses are very real.

There appears to be a serial killer murdering teen girls right outside of an upscale (think billionaires) community. However, there's no one looking for these girls or for justice until Nessa hears them calling. This novel addresses the very real world problems women and girls face all the time from harassment, gaslighting, being passed over for promotions, having ideas stolen, work passed off as someone else's, to assault and murder.

I enjoyed how this story wove magic through realistic story lines and allowed for women to rely on other women. It showed the power of men and money, but also shined a light on how strong and powerful women can be when given the opportunity or motivation to do so. This book makes you root for these three women even when they make questionable decisions and have you wondering who's side they might be on.

This exceptional book couldn’t have come at a better time. Our three female main characters are changing, growing into their powerful true selves. They use these new found powers to hunt a killer.

Kirsten Miller writes about women as they truly are and as they should be seen - as powerful, funny, beautiful, intuitive keepers of balance and life.

This book is a light in a dark time for women and for that I am so grateful! ♡︎♡︎

Thank you Netgalley and William Morrow for an advanced copy of this ebook in exchange for my honest review.

I love the cover I thought it was very interesting and eye catching but after reading it I love it so much more now knowing how it ties in with the story. This book was amazing! I loved Nessa, Jo, and Harriet the bond they formed and the transformations they all went through while trying to find out who murdered the girls made for a great read. Will definitely read this one again soon.

This was such a fun read!! A witchy revenge thriller about three women who discover they all have special powers in their middle age and need to team up to solve a mystery... and seek vengeance. Can't decide which of the three I liked the most because I liked them all so much. Such a wild ride, pls read this so we can discuss thx!!

OH HELL YES. Women taking down shitty men with their powers? Social commentary? Magic? Revenge? Yes yes yes and YES I suspected I would love this one AND I DID.

This easily going to be one of my favorite books of the year. It was a fantastic mystery/thriller that has all the elements of fantasy/magical realism/powers that I love. This book just blends so many genres together so seamlessly.

The characters, the empowerment, the friendships, the premise, the investigation, the dialogue, the flow, the twists are all *chefs kiss.* The way our three main characters use their powers combined is just amaziiiiiiing.

The only thing I wish is that the book was shorter, but it really doesn’t change my rating at all because I enjoyed every second of it.

Read this. Or don’t - but you’d be missing out.

5 stars, duhhh.

The Change has a sweet revenge story that I have always been a sucker for. Three middle aged women are brought together by the powers they’ve been given to find , protect, and avenge lost women. Nessa inherited her family’s gift for hearing the cries of the murdered and being able to find their bodies. Jo is super strong and her hot flashes can burn literally. Harriet has a green thumb and the power to unleash revenge from the botany world. They uncover a string of murders in their small town and bring about justice the only way they know how. Rich characters and a twisted plot make for an unputtdownable thriller that left this girl longing for more vigilante justice. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from NetGalley.
