This book is dreamy combination of Nordic folklore, Iceland mythology, witch trials or let’s say it’s Fear Street Part three- 1666 meets German Netflix original series “Dark” with a new form of changeling ( human like creature found in folklore throughout Europe) vibes as wildling. Can you imagine your long gone sister you haven’t heard from for 23 years appears at the same place where she was missing? But the strange thing about this not only the way how they found her after all those years, she’s still 7 years, she hasn’t aged for a day after she got missing. Well, did you get intrigued? You might be, because things will get more complex and crazier at each chapter. Go on! It’s so exciting! The story told by three timelines and several POVs but it’s not confusing to gather pieces together: at the end everything about this paranormal, mind blowing, intelligent story makes sense and all those loopholes will be filled with surprising explanations. The timelines divided between a diary belongs to Patrick’s telling the events take place the witch hunt, trials, burning them in stakes in 17th century, 1998 : when Liv rides into her car, running away from a secret she keeps, carrying her three daughters: Sapphire (15), Luna( 9) , Clover( 7) with her. When they live their lives behind, she stops by at a cafe to check her emails and get a job offer for working on a mural project at a venue owned by mysterious, wealthy and eerie man Patrick who mostly spends his time in sailing. The venue is decommissioned lighthouse with a bizarre name Longing where is situated in Lon Haven- the east coast of Scotland. Patrick wants the artist create an inspiring and stunning mural inside the lighthouse which will be transformed to writing studio. He will pay handsomely which also will provide a purpose to Liv till she plans her next step. But she has no idea about the place’s history: the cave beneath the lighthouse was once upon a time a prison for women accused of witchcraft. Before they’ve been burned at stakes, witches haunted the island: created wildlings, supernatural creatures ( a kind of changelings) who are mimicking exactly the lost children of the town! Then we turn back to our final and third timeline: 2021: Luna lost her sisters and mother 23 years ago in Lon Haven and now she’s expecting her first child after having too many miscarriages, having issues with her long time boyfriend, still getting angry of her mother who left her in the woods 23 years ago. But she gets a call from officers informs her: her little sister Clover is found! But she’s not an adult. She’s still the same seven years old girl she got missing. Could she be a creature acting like her sister or she’s suffering from the same disease Benjamin Button had. Luna has to return back to the place where everything started to solve the puzzle but the truth may be more complicated she can absorb! I devoured in one sit! I enjoyed so much! I loved the idea the author formed around entire revelations and without thinking any further I’m giving five changeling, surprising, shocking, smart stars!
