This was the first book I read from Erin A Craig, and I have to say, color me impressed. Soon, Ellerie finds herself in a race against time to stop Amity Falls, her family, and the boy she loves from going up in flames. These seemingly trifling demands, however, hide sinister intentions.

The creatures are real, and they’re offering to fulfill the residents’ deepest desires, however grand, for just a small favor. Strange activities begin to plague the town, and as the seasons change, it’s clear that something is terribly wrong. When some townsfolk go missing on a trip to fetch supplies, a heavy unease settles over the Falls. Her days are filled with tending to her family’s beehives, chasing after her sisters, and dreaming of bigger things while her twin, Samuel, is free to roam as he wishes.Įarly town settlers fought off monstrous creatures in the woods, and whispers that the creatures still exist keep the Downings and their neighbors from venturing too far. Life in isolated Amity Falls, surrounded by an impenetrable forest, has a predictable sameness.

Ellerie Downing is waiting for something to happen.
