Dread the Harvest Moon

By Sarah Glenn Marsh
339 pages
YA Fantasy
LGBTQIA+
Softcover 

This is a companion novel to Fear the Drowning Deep, but you don't have to have read that one in order to understand or enjoy this one. 

The setting is the same, and there are overlapping characters. The events of that book impacted this one, but the plot is distinct. 


The protagonist of this book is the sister of the protagonist of the previous book. The last book was about sea monsters; this one is about fairies. 

This one is told mostly in the structure of letters (to her sister) that feel more like diary entries. 

Sisters! Art card & bookmark.

Has a slow burn romance between the protagonist and another girl on the island, during a time when that was not acceptable. 
It's set in 1915, and effects of the war are also reaching the island. 

This is a fun, quick read, and the author is a fantastic person. She has been in to talk to my Creative Writing classes a number of times.
