This story was just so interesting. Idk I just really liked it. And the female lead had brains. And used it. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

Imaginative and a little wild. I knew the direction it was headed but the characters kept my interest enough to keep going. I didn’t like that we never found out if her mom And dad were ok though….

I’m so happy to have come across this book during an awful reading slump. This dark fairytale was everything I wanted and more.

I enjoyed this book. Another very fun horror read from Erin Craig, but the plot was a little frustrating. It bothered me that the base of the plot was almost wholesale M. Night Shyamalan's The Village. It's a fun trope, but I was expecting another fairy tale/fable inspired read from this author, and I guess it was supposed to be Rumpelstiltskin, but I feel like that's a stretch from what we actually got.
