When I bought it, I didn't know it was a book about faeries (the dark/horror/twisted/violent/cruel ones, not the sexy ones). Either way, I don't enjoy reading about faeries. I don't know why. I love fairy tales and folk tales and nature, but something about faeries just annoys me. And this one had some very disturbing scenes in the first half concerning small children, from a child's perspective. I ... nope.
But there was enough mystery and foreshadowing that I wanted to give it a try (and it's a rather short book) so I read on. And oh boy, did things change around the halfway point, and I love the direction the book took from there on. I was on the edge of my seat and couldn't stop reading until I finished it then.
Do I know what actually happened in this book? Nope. But that's basically the point, and I'm loving it.
Still, look up trigger and content warnings, there are some things on page but even more between the lines. Which kind of makes it worse. So just be warned.

It’s a deep dive into psychosis that feels so real. Cassie’s life and imagined details are so vivid and its always clear exactly where they stem from. The Faerie world in this book is so rich and scary. Not going to lie, it really freaked me out. This book was scary, deep, and I flew through it. Overall, I really, really liked it.
