This is a wonderfully creepy mystery full of horrible family secrets, twisted revelations and magic. I enjoyed the eerie dark fairytale and shocking truth that was revealed. I could never figure out where the author was going. I read along being sure one minute that fairytales were real and then the next minute deciding that it was all just some crazy ruse. Right when I thought I finally had it all figured out I was left with an ending that scored a 10 on the creep-o-meter for me and left me opened mouthed. This was probably one of the best story lines I've read in a long time. I only wish that the characters came off the page a little more. I never could put myself in their shoes, which was a little disappointing because I very much wanted to apart of all the magical drama. Excellent plot.
