A murder mystery following all the traditional plot developments - detecting, discovering a body, looking for a murder weapon, witnesses, suspects, and motive - it’s all here in spades. However to take a veritable Agatha Christie style whodunit and wrap it up in a post human vs giants fairy tale world is super genius.

Yay! Book 2 is here! Living one’s true authentic self, unashamedly is the theme of this new story, whether it’s Lily revealing the truth about her powers to her parents, or whether it’s educating and communicating better with non-witch humans as a whole to avoid feeling different, lost or alone. If you love anything witchy, magical, kawaii, and mysterious then this is for you (or your children).

'Wilder' is set in a British water-side village, perhaps 150-200 years ago, telling by the landowning gentry, clothing worn, lack of industry, Christian superstitiousness of traditional folklore ways. A touching story that achieves the delicate balance between sacrifice, loss, and an appreciation for life entwined in the presence of nature in any given moment.
