I ended up staying up until 1 a.m. last night just to finish it. I tried putting it down and going to sleep, but thoughts about the plot and characters kept me awake. The last time I stayed up late to finish a book was almost four years ago, so that means something.

I downloaded this through Audible dot com. I got to listen to it while at the gym and on long car rides. After getting halfway into the book… I couldn’t stand to shut it off at times. I found myself wanting to know what happened next. It’s just a great “read” and would highly recommend this to anyone!

Setterfield will pull you right into this fascinating story. The book has the timeless feel of a fairy tale, in keeping with its title.

This book truly is one of the best books I have every read. I love the way the author writes. She has to be a reader, herself. Her references towards books and reading can only come from a lover of books! From the moment I started, I loved the way the book felt. It is hard to explain. The great story of screts and haunted lives only comes second to her love of books and understanding of what it is to be a reader.
