Fast read; paranormal young adult gothic fairy tale/myth. The main story told from the p.o.v. of Sterling who is a loving younger sister who's older brother disappears one day into the swamp that everyone in the local town fears only to be replaced by some girl. Everyone is convinced that everything is hunky dory and this girl has been Sterling's older sister her whole life. You read this book to see if Sterling is crazy,or the swamp or something that lives in the swamp replaced her brother.

I did enjoy the fairy tale and paranormal aspect and I wasn't annoyed by the romance. The main character was just okay though. You're supposed to feel for her plight but mostly I was just interested in her journey to figure out what happened. I think this was pretty good but not great.
