Review: Wonderfully eerie story
Rating: 5 out of 5

This novel was inspired by Christina Rosetti's poem but Hudock has made this story all her own. The language is rich and beautiful and the story as a shivery, eerie feeling reminiscent of traditional fairy tales, not the cleaned up Disney version but the real fairy tales. The characters are well rounded and three dimensional. This is faerie lore as the ancients intended it to be, no Tinkerbells or happy little folks who are helpful and sweet, these are the beautiful creatures who woo and enslave mankind. Beware the fey folk.
