Definitely my favorite EH book to date. The setup struck that perfect chord of realism and fantasy, and the development of Miles and Daphne’s relationship was slow and steady. It didn’t feel rushed, no scenes felt out of place, and crucially it also didn’t feel like we were missing any scenes or additional context. The cast of characters around them were also fantastic, from all the library patrons to Ashleigh, Daphne’s mom, and even her dad and Starfire. Waring Bay might be the most diverse small town in the entire state of Michigan, and I loved it!
