I'm a bit worried about the party. We did get that grim tarot reading right at the beginning.
I was curious right away about Elsie. I have questions about the pictures and the doll and the dream-catchers.
I'm also curious about where things are going to go with Sam and Cara.

I don't want to read it at night either! But I felt it was really appropriate for the rainy weather we had here.


The writing is absolutely beautiful. This is a great time of year to read the book, as I actually feel like I'm there! Also, Cara's visions of the 'changelings' are described so perfectly. She seems to have magic within her. Interested to see how things play out for her and Sam.
Looking forward to reading the party, although like a lot of you have already mentioned, it sounds a bit ominous.

I really like how the book is written, it is interesting and simple at the same time. I don't know what that is up with these characters yet, they seem real, but a bit cliche. I don't dislike anyone yet though, but Alice seems a bit... I don't know how to find the right word. Scetchy? I don't know.
And yes, we all wonder who Elsie is. What is her role in this book? I'm actually just full of questions. What is the accident season exactly? How did it start? Is it real at all or just something..... else? I don't know yet, but I hope I'm going to get all my answers and a good conclusion.
So far, so good!

I've always tended to avoid books that look any sort of scary but I wanted to tackle that this month. Not knowing anything about the book when I picked it up, I was a bit on edge waiting for one of those jump-out scares. I was pleasantly surprised that the book wasn't quite that way. I loved the description of the changelings at the party and wondered if there was a morbid foreshadowing to what Cara was seeing. Or, are the changelings a foreshadowing to what is going to happen? Oh my goodness, and I'm with everyone else, who is Elsie? Is she even a real person? Where did she go? I'm also feel a bit nervous for Cara and her family. My background is in psychology so without fully intending to, I began analyzing them from the get-go as Cara described her family situation. What is going on with Alice? And how is Cara and Sam's relationship going to work out throughout the story?
So many questions! Looking forward to what else is in store :)
