Review: Glow of the Fireflies by Lindsey Duga

Synopsis

Briony never planned to go back to the place she lost everything.

Firefly Valley, nestled deep within the Smoky Mountains, is better kept in her past. After an unexplained fire gave Briony amnesia, her mother disappeared and her dad moved them to Knoxville.

But now her grandmother needs a caretaker and Briony's dad volunteers her to help. The moment she returns, her whole world shifts. She feels a magical connection to this valley, as if it's literally part of her somehow.

And when she meets a hot guy who claims he was her childhood friend but now mysteriously keeps his distance, Briony starts piecing together her missing past...and discovers her mother didn't leave to start a new life somewhere. She's trapped in the hidden world within the valley.

Now, Briony will do whatever it takes to rescue her, even if it means standing up against dangerously powerful nature spirits. Even if it means giving up her first love.

Review

Briony is a girl who is looking for closure more than anything else. She is back at the place where she lost everything including her childhood memories. She hopes that she will discover the mystery of her past somewhere in the Firefly Valley. This place holds too many secrets but she is here now and she plans to relive her past as much as she can.

This is a very well-written fantasy novel. I enjoyed every second of it. The story is both intriguing and interesting. It's told in an entertaining way and the characters are amazing. I think that the way the author has introduced her characters is simply brilliant. It has enough twists and turns to keep readers on their toes. I'd definitely recommend it to all fantasy lovers, especially if you like YA novels then this is a must-read for you.

P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
