Black clearly knows her lore, and the broad strokes intrigue, but somehow the pieces never jell. Now a monster menaces the town, and the horned boy is awake. But that was before they grew apart and started keeping secrets, before Hazel kissed Ben’s first boyfriend (and lots of boys since). Ben himself has magical musical powers, and he and Hazel used to hunt bad Folk when they were kids. Brother Ben’s best friend is a changeling local kids party by the glass coffin containing a horned boy who has slept for generations. Hazel lives in Fairfold, a small town in a haunted forest full of the Folk.
