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.
In an Oyster Shell – A great extension from the original version made a good story even better.
The Pearls – This is my first time reviewing a book that I’ve read part of before. There was another version that came out last year that ends up being the first half of this book. I like the extended version because it makes for a more full story. It fleshes out more of the mysteries. It even adds another dimension all together.
There were more characters added that really gave the story a lot more depth. There was one character in particular that added to the story. This was the added dimension I was talking about. Just by adding one character the story changes completely. The characters from the original story are a lot more fleshed out and reveal surprising attributes of them.
The concept of this story is unprecedented. I haven’t read anything like it. I like the idea of a lost clan though they were buried alive to be brought back to life. More of the story is revealed and though there is contention between the fairies and the hunters some are trying to make peace. This is a revelation that is new to this edition.
The Sand – I can’t wait for the next book to come out!

About Olivia Wildenstein
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.
