This book was so incredibly interesting.  So interesting that I’m actually having a hard time putting it into words. I never at any given time, knew where this book was going. 

I think my only real complaint is that I would like to have seen more of the drama on the Librarian’s side in addition to the outsider perspectives we are given. There wasn’t really much explanation for how things went down and I would’ve liked to see more of that. 

I will definitely be looking out for more Scott Hawkin’s books. 

I will say that this book is not for the faint of heart, as one of the main plot points and character motivations is child abuse, and abuse in general. If you’re looking for something spooky / horror-eque, this book doesn’t really have that. It is almost a murder mystery with fantasy entwined.
