Summary: After her parents' death Aurora is sent off to her closest relative, her eccentric grandfather that lives in the middle of a swamp. The people living there are very superstitious, but when inhabitants start disappearing it becomes clear something sinister is at work.

What I liked:
- I really enjoyed the overall mood of the book. The voodoo rituals were interesting and other-worldly
- Aurora has a cute sidekick in the form of a raccoon
- The drawings of the marches are very eerie
- The story was engaging

What I didn't like:
- On some pages the colours were a bit too wishy-washy
- I feel we didn't get enough answers in the end; some parts of the story are just glossed over or forgotten
- The story drags a bit in the middle

Verdict: Although a bit longish for the plot, Will o' the Wisp makes up for it in atmosphere. 3.5 Stars
