Laurel Early’s farm just woke up. Her bone pile (don’t ask) had gotten up and walked away. The woods are shifting, and the soil is dead.
The devil that courted her mother has come for her. She and her friends are now in danger and Laurel must rely on her own inner magic to help protect herself and those she loves.
This is a highly imaginative and original book. I had the privilege of having both the book and audiobook. The farm/land is very much a character in this book as well. It sets a very stark and hopeless stage.
This is a book that is best to go in blind. It won’t be for everyone. This book contains themes of abuse, sexuality, finding your inner power, dropping out of school, and friendship. There are dark elements at play here.
This book is a mash up of fantasy, horror, and romance.
This was an interesting book experience. The entire time I read and listened, I wasn’t sure I liked it, but I also could not put it down. I’m still not entirely sure where I stand, but I must give it props for originality and creativity.
Thank you to St. Martin’s Press, Wednesday Books, Macmillan Audio, Macmillan Young Listeners and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
