About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their teenager is feeling isolated by their own unique talents or struggling to bridge the gap between who they are and who their family wants them to be. It is a sophisticated urban fantasy that follows three teenagers, a hedge witch, a boy cursed with a memory-stealing mark, and a girl searching for her lost sister, as they navigate a town where the veil between the human and fae worlds is dangerously thin. The story dives deep into the emotional labor of keeping secrets and the bravery required to trust others when you have always been the protector. While there are elements of folklore-inspired horror, the heart of the book lies in finding a found family that accepts your burdens without judgment. It is an excellent choice for mature teens who appreciate atmospheric, character-driven mysteries that value emotional intelligence as much as magical prowess.
