It’s been a bit since a book totally captured my attention to the point I couldn’t put it down. This book was nothing like I expected and had spookiness, creepiness, drama, and psychological thrills. First Melanie Golding book I’ve read, but certainly not the last.

Such a psychological roller coaster. I have a new thing I love in books: the combination of modern life and Fae lore! This was written excellently.
