An enjoyable, meandering read that was really nice to pick up and I looked forward to coming back to it. It felt long and drawn out and that's a little rare for such a short book. I think that is its only weakness. I felt a bit thrown around when it came to the eventual divulging of Slewfoot's true identity but somehow other areas were lingered on a bit much. I really did enjoy it but just didn't blow me away.

A creepy, Gothic, horror story rich with mythology and interwoven with a healthy dose of female rage (and revenge). Definitely not for the faint of heart but oh so deliciously creepy!
