Summary
After the death of her sister, seventeen-year-old Violet Saunders finds herself dragged to Four Paths, New York. She may be a newcomer, but her mother isn't: They belong to one of the revered founding families of the town, where stone bells hang above every doorway and danger lurks in the depths of the woods. Justin Hawthorne's bloodline has protected Four Paths for generations from the Gray—a lifeless dimension that imprisons a brutal monster. After Justin fails to inherit his family's powers, his mother is determined to keep this humiliation a secret. But Justin can't let go of the future he was promised and the town he swore to protect. Ever since Harper Carlisle lost her hand to an accident that left her stranded in the Gray for days, she has vowed revenge on the person who abandoned her: Justin Hawthorne. There are ripples of dissent in Four Paths, and Harper seizes an opportunity to take down the Hawthornes and change her destiny. The Gray is growing stronger every day, and its victims are piling up. When Violet accidentally unleashes the monster, all three must band together with the other Founders to unearth the dark truths behind their families' abilities, before the Gray devours them all.

“Branches and stones, daggers and bones” is a good way to start a book about newcomer Violet who has just moved to Four Paths, a town protected from a monster with their magical gifts by generations of Founders, which, turns out she is one. The characters in the book are interesting with the monster that kills those that stumble into the gray, is creepy. While I liked this book, it wasn’t quite as engaging as I would have liked, which feels odd to write, because I really did like this book. I can’t put my finger on it. It is a good read, but perhaps not a great read, but definitely a series I will continue and am looking forward to seeing what happens next. Finally, the reason for the low narration read is that while the voice was okay for the female voices, it didn’t feel right at all for the male. This distracted the success of the book as the male characters were intrinsic to the story but it just didn’t work.
