With dignity and grace, Paasch methodically addresses the intense loneliness of grief and survivor’s guilt via Eva’s careful exploration of her budding supernatural powers and her tender developing relationships, wrapping it in an intriguing mystery tinged with horror and romance. Despite her pariah status, Eva finds comfort in her new friend, Bethany, who is Vietnamese, and falls for enigmatic Cal, who lives with anomic aphasia and aphantasia. To make things worse, people around town fall into unexplained comas almost immediately after appearing in Eva’s dreams, and, because she’s a Sylvan, the residents turn against her. The townsfolk offer no aid, avoiding the girls and claiming that Miriam was a witch.
