But while making a new home in Quartz Creek, Selena finds that there are gods, magic and dark forces that her aunt made a bargain with that now wants Selena to pay up.

 Great Idea but failed to keep my interest

I’m sure T. Kingfisher is an excellent author but so far The Snake Eater wasn’t for me. I also couldn’t get interested in her fairytale retelling of The Goose Girl last year.  I liked the idea of The Snake Eater but the story just dragged on and on and on and it was a short book. Does this mean I’ve given up on T. Kingfisher? No. I’m sure there’s one book out there that will intrigue me. But it snaked the interest out of me. The Snake Eater will be available on December 1^st wherever you get your books.
