 Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review. I'm always very happy about an ARC and being able to give it a review! <3 

I love Shanora Williams' stories - you'll never be disappointed. Thatโ€™s for sure!
The story was exciting and totally captivated me. I could really see myself in the cabin and helping Rose to find her friend.

The commentary about domestic violence etc. was really well used. โ€œ ๐ˆ๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐œ๐ก ๐š ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ง'๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฅ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ž ๐œ๐š๐ง ๐œ๐ก๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž ๐›๐ž๐œ๐š๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐›๐š๐ ๐ฆ๐š๐ง.This sentence will probably stay in my memory for a long time - really very well incorporated. 

For me personally the many many characters were a bit annoying โ€“ there were just too many!

The twist at the end was good too - a bit action-packed - but still good.
