This book was equally charming and creepy in a Brothers Grimm sort of way. Emily is an independent explorer/researcher looking to uncover the mysteries or the Fairies. But on her adventure in the cold of a small town in the middle of nowhere where she uncovers more than she planned. This was part Brothers Grimm part Pride and Prejudice to me. I love the banter but wish there had been more romance. Hoping the second book develops that relationship a bit more. But it was a great read and a bit of a historic one as well. Perfect winter book.
