Devon Murphy has never believed that there were fairies at the bottom of the garden, but when he’s in an accident on his way to his grandmother’s house and comes face to face with the biggest, baddest wolf he’s ever seen, he’s forced to reconsider.
When his grandmother asks him to look into a string of suspicious accidents, he finds a much bigger mystery to unravel. From his childhood best friend to the too-attractive Deputy Wade Hunter, everyone in Rowan Harbor seems to have something to hide. Devon has to get to the bottom of it all before the accidents turn deadly.
Review
Never have I read such a well told, well-built
paranormal story that was this length.
I was
hooked to the characters right from the moment Devon Murphy crashed his
car into the tree, and the wolf emerged
from the woods. The town and its people
are holding some secrets, and when one
mystery leads to answers, Devon wasn’t
expecting how everything changes.
Even though the story was told all from
Devon’s POV, I never felt like I was
missing too much. I would’ve loved to hear Wade’s side of the story since he
seemed like a different guy to start
with. But I admit that it’s just a preferred way I like stories told. My fear
with this book was that there was so much that needed to be seen and heard from
Devon’s POV that changing would’ve hurt more than helped.
Devon was quirky, clumsy, and full of a
youthfulness that I love in characters. Not knowing who or what he was but
knowing there was something different about him makes him feel lost. Rowan
Harbor is always home even when he doesn’t want to admit it. The town and its
people play as much of a role in this story as Devon himself.
Wade, the sheriff, and younger brother to
his childhood best friend were not as
fleshed out of a character as Devon, but
I loved him for Devon. Wade got him, understood and loved his constant joking,
and trusted him once he got over his judgments
of who he thought Devon was.
Truly a wonderful start to a series
that I plan to continue reading!
