This was a terrifying, modern take on a fairytale. Not my usual selection, but I could not put it down. It was part thriller, add some family drama, magic, fantasy, terror, and you get this haunting book. I was absolutely scared at many points in this story. I don't normally like to feel afraid, but it was so well written that I do not regret this one bit.

I loved this book! The premise was interesting and unlike other books I have read. The characters in it are engaging and I felt invested in what happens to them. The plot was mysterious and kept me reading to find out what was going to happen next. I will definitely recommend this to our young adult readers when it is released. I do believe that it could have a little more detail about magical doorways and folklore. It is difficult to classify this book as well. Is it a mystery...yes. Is it horror...yes. Is it dramatic...yes. Some who like mystery may not like the horror aspects of it. Some parts of the book are pretty gruesome and scary. There is a good backstory about family connections especially siblings. Also, about how everyone is trying to find how they connect to each other and to the world which I think is relevant at this time in history.
