Now adult, Piper and Margot have tried to forget what they found that fateful summer, but their lives are upended when Piper receives a panicked midnight call from Margot, with news of a horrific crime for which Amy stands accused. Suddenly, Margot and Piper are forced to relive the time that they found the suitcase that once belonged to Silvie Slater, the aunt that Amy claimed had run away to Hollywood to live out her dream of becoming Hitchcock's next blonde bombshell leading lady. As Margot and Piper investigate, a cleverly woven plot unfolds—revealing the story of Sylvie and Rose, two other sisters who lived at the motel during its 1950s heyday. Each believed the other to be something truly monstrous, but only one carries the secret that would haunt the generations to come.
I will start off by saying this is not the normal kind of book I would find myself people picking up. I usually am not into fantasy fiction. With that said after I wrapped my mind around the idea of a mare or what I more or less took as a shape shifter I really enjoyed this book. I felt it was very clever how it was told over a number of decades by different view points of the main characters who were telling their part of the story to clear up a couple of mysteries. To me that part was very well written and I really enjoyed it.
I also liked the characters in the book. They all were very engaging and how the relationships between them all were linked was well done and add a lot to the the book.
The part which the book was the book was mainly about that I did struggle with a bit was the idea of mares. But as I stated before I am not use to this area of writing and once I wrapped my mind around it I did enjoy that twist which added a different element to this book.
Overall this book had a well written plot, good charters and some interesting twist and it is because of this I am giving is four out of five stars.
