On a soft summer night in Vermont, twelve-year-old Lisa went into the woods behind her house and never came out again. Before she disappeared, she told her little brother, Sam, about a door that led to a magical place where she would meet the King of the Fairies and become his queen.
Fifteen years later, Phoebe is in love with Sam, a practical, sensible man who doesn’t fear the dark and doesn’t have bad dreams—who, in fact, helps Phoebe ignore her own. But suddenly the couple is faced with a series of eerie, unexplained occurrences that challenge Sam’s hardheaded, realistic view of the world. As they question their reality, a terrible promise Sam made years ago is revealed—a promise that could destroy them all. – Publishers Website
This was an unexpected book from the publisher. I am almost glad that I didn’t leave it on the bookcase. From the first few pages I was taken in…In the first few hours I was engrossed in this book to the point where I swear this has NEVER happened before, but, the hair on the back of my neck started standing up. You have to admit, that is one great book !
It flips from past to present in the chapter set-up, where Jenifer gives you a brief glimpse into both, then switches you away to another part. It was creepy, it was suspenseful, it was scary! I loved it from the beginning, and if you love books like this you will not be disappointed in the least.
Just don’t read this one on a cold dreary raining night, it will creep you out even more !
