I'm weirded out by this book. I have a considerable list of thing that I didn't like about this book and yet I enjoyed it so much.
But to be honest, I think that if I didn't have such fond memories of the movie I wouldn't have enjoyed this book as much as I did... I managed to ignore most of my disconfort with it thanks to those memories since this books is good at describing... Nothing.
All I know about the Owens is about their hair and that they are bewitchingly beautiful. The only one that gets a full description of her face is the "not so pretty one" and still she sounds beautiful. I don't mind if their bloodline is otherwordly beautiful I just wish the author could describe that beauty to me somehow because if the movie didn't exist then my mental picture of those women would've been like slenderman but with pretty hair
Damn I promise myself not to rant because overall.. I did enjoy this book.

This book makes me wish there were leaves falling outside, and 60 degree weather. It makes me want to curl up in bed in fluffy socks and a comfy robe while sipping on a mug of tea. Such a freaking beautiful read.

I picked up this book because I had seen it on a 'cozy fantasy' list but I do not think it belongs in this category. I was really disappointed in this. I felt like the story never really started because of the writing style and I struggled to finish it or care how it ended.
