I loved the setting for this book. I was sold at tiny Appalachian town with a family of women who all carry special gifts. I thought all of the characters could have been developed a little more, but I did like them. I would have liked to see more of Linden’s sisters but that was silly because of how amazing they were. A year ago Linden’s relationship with her best friend Cole soured and then she went missing in the woods and returned without memory of the night. A year later and another girl is missing and Linden is haunted by the similarities. A striking difference is that girl is found dead and it is clear she was murdered. The story does progress slowly, but I felt like it worked well with the atmosphere for the story, it is a mystery but a very slow burn full of other great realistic creepy back story. I loved the way magic wove into this story that was mostly set in a world like ours.
