Kati's rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read this book very quickly. I loved the supernatural nod without it being 'in your face’ about it. It gives you a look at a normal life, with a bit here and there that seems paranormal, giving it just the right amount of supernatural undertone for the story.
From the first words "Do you see him?", to the very last, I found myself trapped in this dark world the author, Dee Doanes, has woven. I felt the suspense building and with a desperate need to satisfy my curiosity on how everything was going to end.
The mystery of the suitcase kept me reading and guessing, but the biggest thing about this lovely book is the realism! How, as a reader, I could find myself relating to the characters and how, as with real life, the characters were on a non-stop journey to achieve their goals, every moment taking them a step closer.
It makes one think even about one’s own life. It takes you into a dark intense world that will have you blocking out the world around you as you become enthralled with this book. One of my favorite aspects about this wonderful read is how it took the lives of the characters and knitted them together along their journeys. This book for sure is a read for anybody and I say it gets a well-deserved 5 wonderful fairies.
