Move without a sound. Steal without a trace.
Willa, a young nightspirit of the Great Smoky Mountains, is her clan's best thief. She creeps into the homes of day-folk in the cover of darkness and takes what they won't miss. It's dangerous work — the day-folk kill whatever they do not understand. But when Willa's curiosity leaves her hurt and stranded in a day-folk man's home, everything she thought she knew about her people — and their greatest enemy — is forever changed.

My Rating: 4 stars
My Recommendation: High
Wow! What a fun read, I didn't know what I was expecting, but I am
In love with this unique magical read. The writing was easy to follow, the world building was engaging, detailed and rich. Everything about this book was beautiful.
I'm going to keep this short and sweet, because any small detail about the story will ruin it. And I'm not in that business. I will say that this book isn't like anything you have read. From the amazing complex characters to the multi layer plot, you are going to be hooked from start to finish.
This is a super high recommendation from me
Happy Reading
