"Your lifetime is but a drop in the ocean to me."

Muriel McAuley has lived her whole life in a small Scottish village that is now being threatened by a property developer. One day, the haar - a mysterious fog - rolls in, bringing something sinister with it.

Muriel was a lovely, elderly woman who was also one badass! I absolutely loved her character and everything she did to fight off the developers who wanted to raze her home. These men stopped at nothing, but neither did she. And the romance aspect of the story was done well. Muriel and her late husband were just so damn cute!

Sweetness aside, this story was also filled with blood and gore in typical Sodergren fashion. There was a lot of death, some warranted and others not, but I loved every second of it. The creature was hella creepy yet possessed some earthly quality. At moments, I couldn't help but feel bad for it.

Anyway, I definitely recommend this book. I may be biased, but Sodergren has yet to disappoint! 😄
