Summary:
ANCIENT
SECRETS CANNOT REMAIN BURIED FOREVER.
Founded two centuries ago by a powerful tribe of Gottwa Indians, Rowan was a quiet town, so quiet that I fled after graduation. Staying away was the plan, but Mom died suddenly.
Dad said she suffered a stroke after she dug up one of the ancient graves in our backyard, which happens to be the town cemetery. Creepy, I know. Creepier still, there was no corpse inside the old coffin, only fresh rose petals.
As we made preparations for Mom’s burial, new people began arriving in Rowan, unnervingly handsome and odd people. I begged them to leave, but they stayed, because their enemies—my ancestors—were beginning to awaken.

I trembled as I advanced toward the ring of rowan trees that protected the sacred piece of land in which my ancestors were buried. The cold wind and thick snowflakes stung my cheeks, but cooled the welt the faerie guards had exacted on my hand. I spun around to see if the faeries had remained, but no bodies lit up the cold night. They probably fled back to their island to inform their fellow faes that another hunter had risen.
The wind blew Gwenelda’s waist-long black hair against a long, broad, bare torso that ended in a face so chiseled it looked carved from stone. I trailed my eyes down the man’s chest, over the inked arabesques tattooed on his skin, over the animal-hide loincloth that covered so little of him...

About
the Author
Olivia
Wildenstein grew up in New York City, the daughter of a French father
with a great sense of humor, and a Swedish mother whom she speaks to
at least three times a day. She chose Brown University to complete
her undergraduate studies and earned a bachelor’s in comparative
literature. After designing jewelry for a few years, Wildenstein
traded in her tools for a laptop computer and a very comfortable
chair. This line of work made more sense, considering her college
degree.
When she’s not writing, she’s psychoanalyzing everyone she meets (Yes. Everyone), eavesdropping on conversations to gather material for her next book, baking up a storm (that she actually eats), going to the gym (because she eats), and attempting not to be late at her children’s school (like she is 4 out of 5 mornings, on good weeks).
Wildenstein lives with her husband and three children in Geneva, Switzerland, where she’s an active member of the writing community.

Questo libro all'apparenza sembrava contenere molte cose che amo: avventura, triangolo amoroso, fate... ma purtroppo è mancato qualcosa che poteva rendere la lettura più interessante. Magari ci poteva essere più azione e colpi di scena, insomma qualcosa che mi poteva lasciare di stucco. Ma così non è stato. L'ho trovata una lettura carina, ben descritta e con personaggi davvero intriganti ma niente più. E' andato tutto troppo velocemente, la storia ha un ritmo un pò troppo affrettato ed è un peccato perché la trama in sè è molto buona.
Catori, detta Cat, è tornata dall'università per presenziare al funerale della madre. Quando però, viene esaminato il corpo della donna, si scopre che è morta aprendo una tomba. La cosa particolare è che la tomba che ha aperto era vuota, senza un corpo ma solo con dei petali di rosa. Da qui la ragazza partirà alla ricerca della verità e scoprirà che al mondo esistono anche le fate e i cacciatori di fate. Un mondo sovrannaturale e pericoloso.
La protagonista sarà al centro di un triangolo proprio tra una fata e un cacciatore e chissà come andrà a finire perché sinceramente a me piacciono entrambi i pretendenti. Catori è una protagonista abbastanza forte, coraggiosa e determinata, vuole scoprire la verità sulla morte della madre nonostante ci siano ostacoli molto duri nella sua strada. L'ho stimata molto per questo ma a volte mi ha anche urtato il suo comportamento, sopratutto per come gestisce la sua vita amorosa.
Una storia semplice ma allo stesso tempo intrigata che potrebbe piacere agli amanti delle storie con le fate e oscuri intrighi.
