This book covers several different genres and is hard to pin down. The dual timeline works extremely well because it drives you toward the reason why Luna's family disappeared while building the tension through her recovered memories and backtracking in the present. I felt like the explanation of where her family had gone was a little too convenient and also somewhat unexplained. The ending was a little too pat. But it was still a compulsive read! And great atmosphere, especially for this time of year.
