Nigh: The Complete Serial Novel
Once upon a time, there were no more happy endings.
A broken watch. A thief in the night. Whispers around every corner... Then a mist rolls into town and refuses to dissipate.
Alva Viola Taverner has lived in her small town all of her life, working as a car tech while saving for her little sister to go to university. But everything is about to change as the veil between our world and the world of the faeries weakens and falls.
Suddenly, even the smallest bump in the night can prove the deadliest.
"The first great serialized novel of the year" - Black Gate Magazine
"Nigh’s first installment bodes simultaneously fantastic and terrifying for the balance of the novel." - The Page of Reviews
"There’s a soothing, almost seductive quality to Marie’s writing that lulls you into a sense of ordinariness, only to slam you with a new and rapidly changing reality that leaves you as breathless and reeling as the characters…over and over and over." - Lydia M. Hawke, author of the Grigori Legacy

Honestly this was fine - but as I am down with a cold nothing much is registering. And honestly nothing I read was engaging enough for me to restart this when I am better. I have the ebook so I may come back at some point but I think it's time to move on. I've had this for ages and never had the burning desire to pick it up - perhaps that should have been the clue. Or I should have given my eyes a rest this weekend.

If you like faeries, horror, and/or dystopian fiction, this is the book for you.
It's an amazing character journey, beautifully written, with lots of highs, lows, twists, and turns.
I particularly loved the allegory of cultural evolution woven into the story... such a great read!
