Moody and atmospheric, with breadcrumbs of magic and mystery and .... hey, I'm halfway done and nothing has happened. You can't build a great story just on moodiness and atmosphere. It's terrific to have mystery and magic in a thriller but there also has to be, you know, some thrill. There just wasn't enough thrill in this for me to recommend it.
Also there was too much Bella and Edward in Emery and August for my liking. This isn't advertised as YA but it feels very YA.
The last 20 pages or so were good. This could have made a strong short story.
I read an advance reader copy from Netgalley.
