Fantasy isn't my favorite genre, and time travel has to be well-developed for me to buy into it. It wasn't so much developed, it was just there as part of the story; I struggled with that. My favorite part of the mystery was the relationship between Eamon and June, and watching it develop was charming. Although Eamon knew the whole backstory, he created a safe place for June while putting his sweet daughter first. When he and June found their way back to each other, I was invested.
I figured out the mystery's big reveal--it was ho-hum.
From the publisher:
In the small mountain town of Jasper, North Carolina, June Farrow is waiting for fate to find her. The Farrow women are known for their thriving flower farm—and the mysterious curse that has plagued their family line for as long as anyone can remember. But June is determined to be the last of her name, and in turn, be first Farrow to never find love. The whole town knows of the madness that led to Susanna Farrow’s disappearance, leaving her daughter, June, to be raised by her grandmother and haunted by rumors. Everyone in Jasper is certain that it's only a matter of time before she finds the same end, but June hasn't told a single soul that it's already begun.
After her grandmother’s death, a series of clues linking her mother's disappearance to the town's grim past emerge, leading June to a mysterious door. Behind it may lay the answer to the mysteries that have always lingered like a dark shadow over Jasper and the Farrows, but the further into the unknown she goes, the more her mind seems to unravel. Upon crossing the threshold, June embarks on a journey that will not only change both the past and the future, but entangle her fate and her heart in a star-crossed love.
