A box full of newspaper clippings, photographs, and tiny bones found under a dying woman’s bed leads to the discovery of the existence of an unusual group of children. Kept apart, these children grew up believing their fathers were the wealthy mortal men who had wed their pregnant mothers. One of these children was named Crystal, she was raised by a scientist who was obsessed with the secret of winged flight; her mother died during one of his tests and Crystal was sent to a foster home. As an adult, she's searching for her father, while strange furies rise within her that become harder to control. Can she find her mortal stepfather? Will he have the answers? Can he tell her who she is, what she is, and what's wrong with her? Will she find the others like her before it's too late?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling and unsettling.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2019

    A dark and horrifying tale of lives scarred by grief, pain, and abuse, this is not a story for the faint of heart.

    Scenes of horror merge with images that arouse both deep pity and righteous anger in the individual narratives of Crystal and Dee. Having positioned the reader to feel deep empathy and sadness for the two very different central characters, the author then before weaves the different strands of the story together into an even darker, bleaker tapestry.

    The writing is strong and the story is well crafted. As the tale progresses, the author evokes a sense of dread that grows proportionally tonthe building suspense, yet the reader is still completely blindsided by the twists when they come.

    This is a compelling and unsettling work of dark short fiction.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Creepy Horror
    Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020
    The author, Dona Fox, is one of my go-to authors for short horror stories. Her descriptions are definitely creepy and you really feel like you are in the story, not just reading the story. At first, I was confused by this story, but by the end, the tale had enveloped me and all came together.

    At the beginning of this tale, Crystal Violet is a young girl living with her widowed father. He is obsessed with learning to fly like Icarus and his delusions have already cost Crystal's mother her life. When one of her father's experiments goes too far, Crystal is placed in foster care and her father is sent to prison.

    When Crystal becomes an adult, she uses her job with the FBI to try to find her father and her cousin, Max. She soon discovers that there is more to her father's obsession than she had been led to believe.

    Ms. Fox once again weaves a tale that is full of abuse, fear, and total creepiness into this story. The narrator does a great job and adds a lot to this audiobook. I was given the chance to listen by the author/publisher/narrator and chose to review it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Horror at its Darkest
    Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2021

    A well-thought out, deeply unsettling horror story. The author shows two sides of the coin on child abuse, both equally horrific. One side is the horrors an adult can inflict upon their own child, and the levels a child will go to mentally defend that same parent.

    Written in a haunting style, this story is very unsettling and stays with you.

    Intelligent and beautifully written, it is a very memorable and thought provoking story.
