Flyaway by Kathleen Jennings
4.0

Flyaway is a beautifully written, creepy, and atmospheric story. Gorgeous imagery is the backdrop is this creepy tale. The story is rooted in the mystery of Bettina’s yearning to find her father. And when she receives a mysterious letter, she must figure out the truth of her story.

The story was very reminiscent of Neil Gaiman with elements of magical realism, where monsters and magic appeared on the page. Where the reader unearths family secrets that have long since been buried and encounter with creepy creatures that one wouldn’t want to meet in the dark, it is an immersive read that pulls you into the world, and like the characters, you have to claw your way out.
