This debut novel was everything I’d hoped it would be! Gothic and beautiful this tale of wolf people and witches resonates with any reader as it explores themes of family and self acceptance. It starts out strong and picks up again at the end when you’ll be turning pages as quickly as you can to find out how it ends. However, it did drag just a little in the middle for me. Overall, a very strong debut and I can’t wait to see what Rose Szabo does next!
Eleanor Zarrin was sent away from her strange family when she was a child. But when something terrible happens at boarding school she’s forced to return home and face her past, and ultimately try and save her family. She returns to a family she thought had sent her away and didn’t want her to return. When her grandmother passes unexpectedly, she is left to care for an protect them. What follows will teach her who she really is, and what truly matters to her.
