As this was my first book by Brenda Stanley, I wasn't familiar with her writing style and was pleasantly surprised. The book was absolutely gripping, very easy to get into and impossible to put down. I don't always enjoy double timelines and this one had two main ones and a few scenes from about fifty years ago, but in this narrative it worked really well- Huna's story was entertaining on its own and then, of course, you just start creating theories on how it all relates to Milo and Clara's story.

The cover is very dark and atmospheric and makes you think that the book is going to be in the horror genre. I'd probably classify it as a paranormal thriller, rather than horror. It is clean and has a clear message that good and selfless should always prevail over evil and greedy.

I would definitely recommend it and would love to read more from this author.
