by Eleanor Wasserberg
On stepping into this book you will find yourself immersed in a gripping tale of family, of fear, of growing up the Floxlowe way... and it's repercussions.
Green lives at Foxlowe with the family. It's not a conventional family but lost souls from all over, gathered together, blindly searching for something different, something more. The family has it's own rules, it's own ways and to be a part of the family requires obedience without question, a dedication of mind, body and spirit.
We have the founders, Richard, Libby and Freya, then the adults and last and very much least, the children, Green, Blue and Toby, they are the ungrowns.
This a story of a cult, of brainwashing, of abuse, and the lasting effects it can have, especially on the children who grow up knowing nothing else. With chilling sentences like,
The children are the easiest for the Bad to slip in to. They must be watched.
this harrowing story will break your heart, and chill you to the bone.
Dark, creepy and disturbing Foxlowe and it's inhabitants will haunt your thoughts for a long time after putting the book down.
One more thing,
the ending... I was not prepared at all!
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
