I finally got round to reading this, it's been on my kindle for 50000 long!
Thadn't realised it was YA but that didn't really matter as I do enjoy YA.
'I tried to keep you safe, but I see now that I can't. They won't stop until they have you ..
Ivy has been searching for her mother after being abandoned as a baby. She has finally discovered where she is and plans to meet her.
Strange things start to happen though and after a man attacks her at work she decides now is the time to leave and with the help of her work buddy, Tom, she sets off for the island off the coast of Wales.
With more strangers attacking her along the way, she starts to see why she was abandoned, and why her mother left her the heart-felt note in her locket.
Things get stranger still when they discover how isolated the isle is and that the all locals vacate it in winter, all except her mother!
This was a good read, Ivy's character is very likeable and her relationship with Tom is really well portrayed.
The isolated isle is perfectly described and very atmospheric.
Also I love that the majority of the story was set in Wales and is steeped with Welsh folklore, mythology and Arthurian legend.
Perfect for fans of witch tales, King Arthur, Merlin and UK folklore.
Thank you to @hotkeybooks and @netgalley for my ebook.
