“Goss deftly weaves together past and present into a beautifully intricate story of the Living Dryad and the Primitive Eve, the two women that loved Lewiston Merwin and their fates while the great-great-granddaughter of one seeks to solve the mystery behind the death of the woman who she resembles. I loved how I could feel the doubt of the narrative that been written of Daphne Merwin's murder grow as the story went on and how the terrible realization of who really killed the Living Dryad waited to hit me until right as it was occurring to the protagonist that someone in this story wasn't who they seemed to be. I really can't speak ill of this story.”
