I love Sarah Painter’s Crow Investigations books, so I was excited by this new series set on a remote island off the North East coast of England. While Crow Investigations in in the Urban Fantasy genre, this series is (I guess..) rural fantasy, in that it has magical realism/supernatural elements, set in a small town island community, giving it a more gentle slow pace befitting the setting. That is not to say that it’s boring, far from it. In this second book in the series, more Island lore is explored, as well as the developing relationship between the island’s two most recently arrived inhabitants. I enjoyed the read and am looking forward to the next book in the series.
