This was a most unusual book for me. It is a real page turning book. The storyline is very "spooky" for sure. As Amelia Balfour returns to her home after her father's death, she is asked as a last request to care for her brother, Colin, whose face and size are frightening to most all who see him. Her father had arranged for a frightening surgery to "normalize" Colin by a Dr. Peckwood, assisted by Mr. Graham Lambert.
It is a dark story about Colin's unusual life and very captivating. The characters are well developed in the story and there are those you love and fear. I felt sad for Colin and fearful of what would happen to him. Would the surgery take place? And what would happen to him? There is some romance in this book. And you will hope for a good ending.
I received a copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and NetGalley and was not required to give a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
