Summary from Goodreads:
‘Salem’s Lot meets The Darkest Part of the Forest in this horror-fantasy retelling of Christina Rossetti’s “Goblin Market.”
Seventeen years ago, May and Laura Wickett fought their way out of the goblin market, but the scars will never fade from May’s heart. After all, the market was more than the sum of the bodies it left behind: it was also the home of her first love. But when the price of freedom is blood and marrow, some heartbreaks are better left buried.
In present-day Boston, Louisa Wickett-Stevens does not believe in magic, despite Mom’s and Aunt May’s superstitions. But after Lou’s teenage aunt, Neela, goes missing, Lou realizes that their superstitions have been handed down to protect them from York’s bloodthirsty goblin market. It’s up to Lou, Mom, and May to infiltrate the market and steal Neela back before the goblins disappear. But the market has its fair share of secrets, and this time, the goblins do not only want death: they seek vengeance.

Dare you go to the Goblin Market? Will you make it out alive, scared and scarred or wind up chained to a post in the bowels of the earth?
If you are in the mood for a blood curdling good time then, please, do come inside.
Nightmares are real and the fruit is rotten and remember not to stay too long.
Come by, come buy.
