Anna, 17, finds herself drawn to the dark, mysterious Abel. She becomes
involved with him although he continually warns her not to. Anna soon becomes a
character in the fairytale he is telling. She becomes confused when people
close to them are murdered, just like in the fairytale Abel is telling.
Michaelis has written a hard to put
down tragic romantic mystery novel. It contains a fairytale, full of symbolism,
within the main story that adds interest to the book; however, it is filled
with many mature adult themes which may be disturbing even to some older high
school readers.
