September 16, 2020I loved this story. It's a bit more gothic romance than the previous stories in this series, however, strange things happen to the people who live on Firefly Island, and Molly's experience shows that mysterious happenings can follow the residents who leave the island.

Molly faces another Christmas alone, as her father avoids to meet her since her mother's death. A few days before Christmas she finds a small gift after bumping into a woman, who denies it is hers.
Curious she opens the gift and finds a puzzle box and in it a postcard with an address in London.
For some reason she takes it as an invitation and travels to London to the address on the postcard, where she meets Becket and Bess, two people cursed to be in the house for a long time.
A gothic love story, a little Poe-esque, but with a fairy godmother twist. An interesting, unusual story that was fun to read.

This is my first book in this series and it is quite an unusual story. There are lots of subtle layers and it does draw a bit from other fairy tales, but I really liked it. Beckett is forced to pay for his father’s errors and Beth’s greed. Molly acts spontaneously out of hurt and frustration. Their worlds collide and magic happens. It’s a quick a quick uncommon read.

Summoned is a short, suspenseful story about a woman who is tired of being left alone at Christmas by her father. Molly's journey from Firefly Island to London is filled with interesting twists along the way. This is one of those books that once you start reading you don't put down until the last page. I look forward to visiting Firefly Island again. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
