I can’t trust this overall rating. This is an extremely addictive read. The post war village was a great base for this book and fitted the Highlands isolated setting. The more this book goes on, the more this small community turn on their own. The mistrust, suspicion and fear all built because of manipulative, calculating, dangerous fae. The fae that you really don’t want to get involved with!

Bizarrely a comfort read that you just get sucked into and have to see how it ends, and well I had tears at the end.
