Here is a story with an atmospheric and captivating setting complete with a whole wealth of characters of interest.
It begins with a heavy storm resulting in an arrival of a strange creature into the life of our protagonist, Cassie Engel. As Cassie enlists the help of her best friend Raphael she becomes aware of a predator and feels uneasy about what will happen next.
The story is set in 1900 in the Bavarian Forest and the home of Cassie is complex and fascinating and integral to the story. Lucy Hope descriptions and attention to details of the setting and characters really help you to visually imagine everything and be captivated by what will happen next. I really liked that it was not predictable and it felt at times a mythical story and also like a modern fairy story albeit set in 1900. It is not like anything I have read before but f you like Harry Potter you would like this!
