Summary
"You’re only going to get burned."
"By what?"
"Monsters," she calls into the night. "And girls who go looking for them."
In a lonely Swiss mountain village, Kira’s holiday erupts. It’s winter, it’s eerie, and out in the woods, something imbeds its claws into her sister.
When Romy returns, she’s different. She’s violent, inhuman, and by rights, should be dead. But all their parents care about is that she’s still alive. That is...until their parents disappear.
In the otherworldly forest, Kira starts to pry, but secrets like to be kept. Alongside sarcastic Scotsman Callum, Kira stumbles upon the folkloric world of Whiteland, eating all she knows.
Something has changed.
It’s all but imperceptible, but present nonetheless; a change in the air or a shift in her perceptions.
She stills, listening, sensing.
If Kira runs away, she’ll be safe. If she doesn’t, her family might not survive. In the end, there’s no mercy in revenge.

Shocking editing and awful narration
The prose is really strange shifting from the first person to the third in the same paragraph. That meant it took a while to realise that Anna and Ciara's mum weren't two different people. The narrator is terrible. She can't pronounce a lot of the words including wolves, pasties and Edinburgh. There's an L in wolves that she repeatedly misses. The editing is dire sometimes part and whole sentences are repeated up to four times. Not in places were it would make sense for dramatic effect or a quirk of someone's speach pattern. The story was a weak ramble interspersed with some truly awesome descriptions of scenes and places. There was a lot of promise with this book so I am keen to see what else the author produces over time.
