“With her second sight, Tanya is no stranger to the world of fairies, and Jayne Entwistle recounts her fantastic adventure with the practiced ease of a master storyteller…Entwistle’s pacing is perfectly matched to the flow of the plot—steady and tense as Tanya and Ratty are trapped by the evil fae, fast and choppy during the chase scene with Nessie Needleteeth, and panicked with frantic whisperings during a trip down a deep, dark well…This is a must for fans of Harrison’s work.”
