Odette has always told younger sister Trudchen tales of their monster-hunting mother; after Od runs away, her letters home claim she's conducting cryptozoology research around the country. When the sisters reunite, Tru learns there's more truth to Od's outlandish stories than she imagined. Like a turn-of-the-twentieth-century, gender-swapped spin on television's Supernatural, this is engrossing paranormal horror with two strong, smart female leads.
