The trees swallowed her brother whole, and Jenny was there to see it. Now seventeen, she revisits the woods where Tom was taken, resolving to say good-bye at last. Instead, she's lured into the trees, where she finds strange and dangerous creatures who seem to consider her the threat. Among them is Jack, mercurial and magnetic, with secrets of his own. Determined to find her brother, with or without Jack's help, Jenny struggles to navigate a faerie world where stunning beauty masks some of the most treacherous evils, and she's faced with a choice between salvation or sacrifice--and not just her own.'

I was first attracted to the cover of this book, but once I started reading I found that I really enjoyed the enchantingly magical story within. A darkly compelling mix of romance, fairy tale, and suspense, the faerie world the author created was full of an assortment of beautiful but treacherous fae intent on harming Jenny. Full of action and romance this is a lovely book made all the more special by being a stand-alone title.
