What a way to be brought back to Old Town.  Young develops this small town with a flourish that makes you feel like you were there.  She also takes an exciting story and draws her readers right into it.  I also love the epilogue.  Young gives a sneak peek into the future without jumping too far ahead.  She lets you know that there is a future without it being set in stone.Many authors can make you feel for their characters or feel what their characters are feeling, but Young takes it to an entirely new level with this one.  She slowly and subtly develops her characters in such a manner that they become part of your life.  Their past is your past.  By creating two main characters who are ‘broken’, irreparably so in some ways, but who fight for themselves and each other you feel drawn to them.  She also switched perspectives between them showing you not only what is happening but how they feel about it.  The way that Young writes allows you to feel their sorrow and pain, their joy and hope on a level unparalleled.Overall this was a fantastic read that I raced through in a single sitting.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to others and will definitely be reading more by this brilliant author in the future.Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.
