I really should mention to readers that this is not a horror novel. It's magical realism with a tiny side order of spooky and a slice of urban fantasy. If you read it for these attributes, you'll enjoy it. If you're looking for horror, no. Agents must stop mismarketing novels!

Absolutely loving this! It's definitely a more mature read for older ages than her prior novels. But it is still every bit as original & magical. I don't know how she does it honestly. Every book she writes defies deconstruction b/c there just isn't a formula or a signifier for what she creates. So innovative!

Excellent! I don't know how she does it, but she always does--most magical book of the summer
