Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Kim Neville has created a magical concept within the world we already know and live in. This story weaves different real life issues- anxiety, obsessiveness, and even hoarder. It addresses them within their magical context, and gives life to something you didn’t know needed it. The characters in this book are so incredibly different from one another, and unique. These individual characters were very realistic, which added to the depth of this story. Discussing the plot without spoiling everything is tricky. There is the inherent mystery of Ev and Noemi’s parents, and what actually happened to them. This gave the book an aspect of a dark and thriller feel at times, and I think it’s what made the book so fantastic for me.
