The Guardian reviewed the book as "Holly successfully merges modern teenage life with faerie legends and creates characters that have real depth that you care about. Even when describing the most mythical sections, the writing is really grounded and feels real".[3]

The story centers around teenager Hazel and her brother, Ben, who live in a small town where humans live with a variety of mythical creatures.[4]
