After the death of Emily’s mother Emily moves to Mullaby, North Carolina to live with a grandfather she never really knew existed. Though nervous, Emily is determined to make the most of this move. In the meantime, we meet the other residents of Mullaby, including Julia who has returned to settle her father’s estate and get out as quickly as she can. Just the idea of making a life in her childhood town suffocates her. When Emily meets Win and sparks fly Julia, Emily’s grandfather & the rest of the town know nothing good can come of it.
I loved this book. It’s sort of a crossover between a YA novel and an adult fiction novel. Emily’s story is the center of the plot, but Julia’s story is also a huge part of the story. I loved each of the characters and was entranced by the promise of the supernatural, by the mystery that surrounded Win and his family and by the love story that slowly develops for Emily and for Julia.
The story wasn’t so much supernatural as it was magical. I didn’t want it to end, even after learning all the secrets there were to learn. I just wanted to keep reading about everyone in Mullaby forever.
