Teenager Ivy is desperate to find her mother; the mother who abandoned her as a baby. She wants to ask why, and why the cryptic note about keeping her safe; safe from who?
After posting on a online forum, she is pointed in the direction on a remote Isle off the Welsh coast.
Setting out to find her mother, she encounters strange shadows who want to hurt her.
When she does make it to her intended destination; having been forewarned about the island & her mother's strange behaviour, by the captain of the boat she hitched a ride with, Ivy soon realises why her mum wanted to keep her safe.
I enjoyed this YA book. It was an easy read steeped in legend, the supernatural, and female empowerment.
I liked that the Witches weren't portrayed as your typical kooky women, but as part bird that they had transformed into.
I'm hoping there is going to be a follow on story.
