In the usual sleepy village of Nag's End, something wicked is afoot. When five riders are found dead in the mountains, Rowan's quiet life is transformed as something creeps closer and closer to the village, leaving bodies in its wake. 
 I was very intrigued by the description of this book, but sadly it never really hooked me in. It has an old fairy tale/gothic vibe to it and there's definitely a layer of creepiness to the story, it just wasn't for me. So many similes. Patient readers who can appreciate a slow paced horror story may get more enjoyment.
