Magic. That's what this book was. The story. The characters. The town of Dove Pond. So many emotions experienced in one book and I wouldn't have had it any other way. I'm a huge Sarah Addison Allen fan and Karen Hawkins is right up there with her in style, storytelling and imagination. It was just exactly what it was supposed to be and I am so looking forward to diving back into another magical story crafted around Dove Pond.
