“A gothic tale with a modern twist . . . Moving seamlessly between the present and the past, the narrative ratchets up the tension slowly as secrets are revealed and the living come to terms with their own mortality. Dressler makes great use of the tension that arises from characters fighting against the very things they will one day become . . . and reaches beyond the grave to consider the lengths that people go to in order to leave their mark behind.” — Publishers Weekly

“Spellbinding from page one.” — Library Journal
