I really liked this book. If it werent for Danielle McClean, I would have never known about the tales and bad pirates in the forest. I liked the mystery in this book. I found this book to be a fast read with characters I will always remember. Thank you, Danielle Y.C. McClean and NetGalley for the free copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

While the synopsis of this book caught my eye I just couldn't get into it and it might have been because I wasn't reading much fantasy or paranormal books at the time I requested this so I DNF'd this at 60%
