On the surface, Ashford, Vermont, seems like a quaint New England college town, but to those who live among the shadowy remains of its abandoned mills and factories, and beneath its towering steel bridges, it's known as Burntown.

Eva Sandeski, who goes by the name Necco on the street, has been a part of Burntown's underworld for years, ever since the night her father, Miles, drowned in a flood that left her and her mother, Lily, homeless. A respected professor, Miles was also an inventor of fantastic machines, including one so secret that the plans were said to have been stolen from Thomas Edison's workshop. According to Lily, this machine got Miles murdered.

Necco has always written off this claim as the fevered imaginings of a woman consumed by grief. But when Lily also dies under mysterious circumstances, and Necco's boyfriend is murdered, she's convinced her mother was telling the truth. Now, on the run from a man called Snake Eyes, Necco must rely on other Burntown outsiders to survive.

As the lives of these misfits intersect, and as the killer from the Sandeski family's past draws ever closer, a story of edge-of-your-seat suspense begins to unfurl with classic Jennifer McMahon twists and turns.

I usually like her books, but this one was too obvious and over-explained. The plot was farfetched and it seemed like YA.

I adore this author and this is the 4th or 5th novel of hers that I've purchased. This story is written very well and it balances reality, the imaginary, and the supernatural. It keeps you on your toes the entire time and right at the moment the ending is revealed, everything falls together perfectly. The characters are relatable and they all have individual struggles that are resolved in a realistic way. The narrative swaps from character to character, and while this is necessary for the plot, if you don't like books that swap narratives, you may not like this one.

Sometimes even a talented writer gets it wrong...

Reviewed in the United States on 28 December 2017

Verified Purchase

The beginning of this story whispers promises of the supernatural, of intrigue and innovation. The captivating characters - a good student with dark secrets and fears about her emerging sexuality, a lonely, grossly overweight woman with delightful fantasies, a homeless young woman with secret “powers” and a mysterious past - pull you in. However, at some point (about midway), it feels as if the tale is like one of Theo’s intricately knitted projects that has become unraveled. Or - to mix metaphors - the bright flame of the fire eaters putters into smoke. I can’t help but think that McMahon needed to let these ideas gestate longer. That she birthed the book prematurely. I will read her books again, because she rarely leads me down the wrong path, but this one disappoints.
