Wow. Just...wow.

I've seen other titles by this author, but this is the first of her books that I've read. I wasn't sure I was going to like it at first, but after a few chapters I couldn't put it down. She has a beautiful style of writing, and seamlessly threads the past into present day. I also absolutely loved the mystical thread running throughout the book. We know so little about ourselves, and almost nothing about that which we cannot see. I had goosebumps reading the conclusion and the ending was satisfying, desperately sad, and yet, still hopeful. This book is definitely worth a read!

I couldn’t put it down. Ms. McLain so accurately encapsulates what it feels like to be still effected by childhood trauma and the vulnerability of healing from it
Disjointed

The story does not flow. Many characters don’t feel connected to the story and the way the investigation unfolds is scattered and unrealistic.

Gripping, haunting, tense with such deeply and brilliantly drawn characters. Despite the difficult subject matter this carefully crafted and cleverly structured book is a wonderful read.
Almost put it down

This was a wonderful book. There were times I could see where we were going but the journey had such feeling. Really enjoyed this book.
Hauntingly beautiful

What I thought would be a quick, trashy thriller turned out to be so much more. Filled with beautiful prose, I couldn’t help myself falling in love with how she writes and with her main character, Anna. I couldn’t stop reading and yet wasn’t ready for the story to end. Felt myself savoring her words to the end and am excited to see what else she’s written.
Absolutely beautiful

The author brings the characters to life from the first few sentences. Complex characters, complex lives and a finally woven story pulled me in from beginning to end.

I would forget the first part of the book as characters kept flooding the pages. I did love the protagonist!
