Twelve yr outdated Thea loves spending two weeks of her summer season vacation within the countryside together with her grandmother. Thea and her youthful brother will assist take care of the chickens, goat and cow, whereas their Grandmother adores her time together with her grandchildren.
A household trait has been handed down by way of generations of ladies; they possess the power to learn minds. Generally it’s helpful— her grandmother typically is aware of simply what is required to offer some additional care to these in the neighborhood. Thea’s younger thoughts stays unguarded on the evening she reads the thoughts of a killer, and all the things in her world dramatically adjustments.
I actually loved the setting for this story. Roberts takes time to construct up the layers, including simply sufficient element for me to create an exquisite picture in my thoughts of the small city in Kentucky and the sturdy household ties. There’s numerous time spent with Thea as she grows into maturity and eventually settles down with work and home-life, however it by no means felt boring to learn.
There are some excellent secondary characters; I cherished Lucy, Thea’s grandmother and Thea’s canine. The sinister ingredient twists and turns because it makes its creepy strategy to the denouement. There’s romance too, however it doesn’t overpower the primary storyline; as an alternative it blends in effectively. I’d be very comfortable to seek out I used to be Lucy’s neighbour and I’d be lining as much as purchase a few of her Mountain Magic wares.
