From #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Beatty comes a spooky, thrilling new series set in the magical world of Serafina. Move without a sound. Steal without a trace. Willa, a young nightspirit of the Great Smoky Mountains, is her clan's best thief. She creeps into the homes of day-folk in the cover of darkness and takes what they won't miss. It's dangerous work—the day-folk kill whatever they do not understand. But when Willa's curiosity leaves her hurt and stranded in a day-folk man's home, everything she thought she knew about her people—and their greatest enemy—is forever changed.

"I first read this when it came out and I loved it. Six years later, I reread it and realized that it is really not as good as I remember. It's premise is fantastic and it has so much potential, but the dialogue and narration are poorly written and repetitive (besides setting descriptions). This story requires the book to be longer with flashbacks and more buildup to major plot points. I especially wish Willa and Nathaniel's relationship was given more time and development."

"I read it so long ago but I remember when she and him were at his childrens and wifes grave and he just talked to her. About his family and about his life. Or where her grandma talked to her about her history and her past."

"Yes! It’s really a good read, and the author is coming out with a second book soon! There’s another series, the Serafina series, by the same author. It’s by far my favorite and if you like Willa you will love Serafina! There’s 4 books in that series "
