    About this ebook

    "Epic and engrossing. Magic pulsates through every page.” —Kirkus, starred review

    "...a compelling, satisfying romantic adventure with metafictional undertones.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

    “A marvelous, enchanting tale about the power of love and stories.”
    —Rosamund Hodge, New York Times bestselling author of Cruel Beauty

    "...beautifully written retelling..." - School Library Journal

    Echo Alkaev’s safe and carefully structured world falls apart when her father leaves for the city and mysteriously disappears. Believing he is lost forever, Echo is shocked to find him half-frozen in the winter forest six months later, guarded by a strange talking wolf—the same creature who attacked her as a child. The wolf presents Echo with an ultimatum: if she lives with him for one year, he will ensure her father makes it home safely. But there is more to the wolf than Echo realizes.

    In his enchanted house beneath a mountain, each room must be sewn together to keep the home from unraveling, and something new and dark and strange lies behind every door. When centuries-old secrets unfold, Echo discovers a magical library full of books- turned-mirrors, and a young man named Hal who is trapped inside of them. As the year ticks by, the rooms begin to disappear and Echo must solve the mystery of the wolf’s enchantment before her time is up otherwise Echo, the wolf, and Hal will be lost forever.

      This was a wonderful retelling of Beauty and the Beast as well as mythological stories. I understand that it was a young adult book, but that was not off-putting in the least. I was completely mesmerized by the prose and I do believe that this author has a lot to offer the world with her fiction. The characters were deep and developed, the imagery well placed, and the story smoothed along at a great pace. There is much to like here and I think that almost anyone, if they have an open mind, can enjoy this book.4.5 stars!

      Lovely writing, and the story is different enough from the myths and stories it’s based nothing felt recycled. Definitely recommend.
    • 4/5
      A young adult fantasy that some older adults might enjoy. It involves a girl (Echo), a wolf, a boy (Hal), and an evil queen which is similar to many other books of this genre. Echo is attacked by the wolf and eventually has to live with him away from her family and evil step mother. In this house there is a library of books that you can step into and live within the stories. It is here that she meets her friend Hal. There are lots of adventures culminating in a showdown with the evil queen. People into fantasy will enjoy this novel.
