Adrienne Young is an auto buy author for me so I had to get this one as a book of the month add on. This book follows James who returns to her small hometown after years away following the unexpected death of her twin brother Johnny. As she investigates she believes her connection with Johnny is still active and begins seeing things through his eyes. Young's writing style is evocative and atmospheric which really feeds the story and feeling of the book. I really enjoyed the gentle fantasy/sci-fi elements, but this is mainly a story about family and the lengths you will go for family and loyalty. I wish the ending wasn't quite so tidy but highly recommend.
