In the mid-1800s, Lina and her family move from their small New Hampshire village to an industrial city in Massachusetts.

She's determined to make something of herself and to live her life the way that she wants to. Lina must face and overcome the difficult challenges surrounding her society in order to live her ideal life, all while avoiding being murdered by the so-called human-monster.

From the amount I was given, I'm definitely interested to see how everything ties together in the end. A historical fantasy with a female MC who is headstrong and wanting to be her own person in society. What more could I ask for? The writing wrung me in right away, leaving me glued to the pages. The monster is intriguing and keeps the mystery and plot moving. I thought it was very well made, and it's a shame it has fallen so far under the radar. Definitely a hidden gem that needs to be checked out.

Honestly, this is a hidden gem! I can't believe that this one is not so much known! In the mid-1800s Lina and her family move to the city. Lina is a girl who tries to prove that her ideas are more forward, something 'unusual' for a woman of her time and also her POV was very well written. The mystery behind the murderer is very complex and I gripped from the beginning till the end!
This book deserves more attention.

This was really interesting. I loved Lina as a narrative POV and her ideas and reasoning were unusual for the era. The plot and narrative are gripping and quickly draws you in. I would definitely read on.
Elsa C, Reviewer
I'm genuinely upset the ending will not be available till April because I was hooked! Some parts at times were very repetitive due to Lina seeming to go through several similar situations. However, I thought her to be a fascinating narrative and loved her peculiar ideologies for that era. I do hope the ending will be available so I can indulge in it more.
