Really enjoyed this book, great character development where it mattered and well developed suspense. A buried family secret reminiscent of Kate Morton's work. Quick read, great for a quiet weekend.
Absolutely wonderful, exciting story. Love the characters and the unfolding of the story, and as is always my favorite, with a little magic in the mix.

Loved this book. It had a few too many F words, but other than that, I loved it. The premise was intriguing and it kept me entertained the entire time

Very slow moving book. Kind of boring.
First of all, This is not fantasy. I'm not sure if it was marketized as such or if my bookstore has simply shelved it wrong. It does have a very small magical element and I emphasise the very small. At the very most it's magical realism, certainly not fantasy.
Secondly, It's almost ridiculously predictable. Before even a fourth of a book passes you get so many clues about the "big" twist in the end that there is little need to read the rest of it.
Thirdly, it's a mediocre book with a mediocre plot and mediocre characters, if only one part of it stood up it was the way the author described personal grief and its effects on people. Otherwise, whether you read or not doesn't matter that much, it's short enough not to waste too much time and it's not good enough for it to be shame to go unread.

This was really good, really sad and stuff but also funny, exciting, stuff like that.
