Annie Nobody has been tossed from foster home to foster home. Strange things seem to happen around her and she never stays at any home very long. Jaime Alexander is not loved by his family and wondering why they sudden seem like they want to eat them. When the two of them are rescued and brought to Aurora, can they protect their new community?

As someone familiar with the area, it is fun to see how Jones uses Mount Desert Island and the surrounding area within the story. I spent a fair amount of time wondering which library she based Mr. Nate's on (because I am a librarian and like to do that.)

There was one plot point that I thought waited too long involving a garden gnome, but I am not sure how I would have sped it up. I loved the acknowledgments and the ending. I can't wait to see book two.

Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book early!
