Eleanor Zarrin has been estranged from her wild family for years. When she flees boarding school after a horrifying incident, she goes to the only place she thinks is safe: the home she left behind. But when she gets there, she struggles to fit in with her monstrous relatives, who prowl the woods around the family estate and read fortunes in the guts of birds.
Eleanor finds herself desperately trying to hold the family together — in order to save them all, Eleanor must learn to embrace her family of monsters and tame the darkness inside her.
Exquisitely terrifying, beautiful, and strange, this fierce gothic fantasy will sink its teeth into you and never let go.

My Review: This was a debut hit that I could not put down! I loved the mystery and by the middle of the book I couldn't read fast enough to figure out what in the world was really going on. This book draws you in and doesn't let you go until you have read the last page. There are so many twists and turns in this one that it was an epic ride that I need more to!! This one does finish up and there isn't any kind of cliffhanger. However, it could have more story because its pretty open.
I would love to see a prequel to this one as well as a follow up. I loved Eleanor and her family and man I just didn't see anything of this book coming. I loved how the author blended werewolves, witches, and magic all together to form this beautiful terrifying story.
One other thing that I think was fabulous is that this book which is ya has no real or true romance in it!!
Go Into This One Knowing: Light Horror, No Real Romance, CREEPY and WERID!!!
