On a soft summer night in Vermont, twelve-year-old Lisa went into the woods behind her house and never came out again. Before she disappeared, she told her little brother, Sam, about a door that led to a magical place where she would meet the King of the Fairies and become his queen. Her little brother, Sam, has grown up to be a levelheaded man who is still convinced that Lisa was abducted by a predator. When his girlfriend, Phoebe, receives a phone call from a frightened woman claiming to be Lisa, the two are seriously spooked and set out to discover the true identity of the mystery caller and what really occurred 15 years ago.
This was one of several books I checked out from the library recently after seeing ads for it on Goodreads. I'm glad I did, as this was a perfect blend of mystery and fairy tale that kept my guessing even after I was finished with it. There was a startling twist every few pages and I never could figure out what was coming next. I plan on checking out the rest of the author's books and I'm really glad I discovered her.
