Summary

Mella finds herself in a whole new world, surrounded by all new things and people. Life was often scary back in the tall trees in that tiny little house, but it was all she knew, and that brought her comfort. Now, separated from her Momma, and her baby brother Pete, Mella has to find out how to make her way in this strange new home with all new rules and people. The cruelty she finds here makes her wonder if there are more than just Bad Men to be afraid of, but Bad Women, too.

My Review

5/5 Stars

“Here, people are everywhere. Here, the shadows are too.”

After defeating the Bad Man, Mella, her mother, and her brother are now able to reintegrate with society. Mella loves her Papa and her sister too. For a minute, things look perfect. Until she learns that there can be Bad Women too.

This book was a tearjerker, possibly even more so than the first one.

There are many different kinds of evil in the world, and the way that Angel Van Atta weaves these characters against Mella’s innocence creates a hauntingly beautiful narrative that’s nearly impossible to put down.
