I love that Wil is a strong and take-charge character. Despite the police force disparaging her and doing nothing, she's determined to solve the case of her mom's disappearance despite everyone and everything trying to stop her. She fights for her and her family even as their run-down motel fails and the Clarkes buy it.
Elwood is the very embodiment of an innocent, oblivious, and devoted child starting to forge his own path. His father is abusive yet regaled by the town, but Elwood defies him as he matures. Even knowing what his father is capable of - just look at those poor rabbits! - he's ready to do the right thing.
Together, they make a formidable pair, and as their relationship blooms and their former friendship repairs. This is a dark and and intriguing horror book that also incorporates an unlikely romance - between a girl whose mother was murdered, and the son of the family that killed her.
