“Oh, you poor thing. You were begging to be devoured. Maybe it's you your child needed to be protected from. You leave a trail of breadcrumbs any wolf could follow, then act shocked when the wolf is outside your door.”

Wow. A haunting and disturbing story yet so riveting I couldn’t wait to turn the page. The Changeling is a mix of ancient mythology, folklore and modern day challenges wrapped into one story.
