So good!! I am still surprised at how much I have enjoyed this. Nice mix of myths, mystery, horror and something else that I can't quite put my finger on.

I picked up Heklas children from a bookstore on my way home from a ski trip — so I hadn’t done my usual research into what the book is about or how it’s been received.

So I was really pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book!

This book was not for me, but it is a page turner.
If you're looking for a dark fantasy with some fun twists and turns, you'll probably love this.

Now that I have finished it I need to reread it... such a difficult one to describe.

Prehistoric myth and legend, time-travel, anthropology, alternate dimensions, an ♾ loop of a plot that was cleverly crafted, topped off with The Furies/Fates...
