 This story felt so much in the vein of a Wayward Children book, and I loved every second of that feeling. One of those novellas a year is simply not enough, so to feel like I found the same kind of story from the perspective of a different author was a breath of fresh air.

I was hoping for a happier ending, but I knew that was going to be too good to be true. Overall, though, the story was fantastic and creepy and heart wrenching. Just a lovely read.
