The Keepers of Metsan Valo by Wendy Webb

Anni Halla and her twin Theo grew up spending summers at Metsan Valo, the estate on the shores of Lake Superior that has been in the Halla family for generations. Some of their favorite memories are of their grandmother's storytelling of ancient Nordic folklore, of the Vaki, spirits of the forest and water who can heal or harm. After their grandmother's unexpected death, the Halla family gathers at Metsan Valo for the reading of the will. But when strange and sinister things start happening, Metsan Valo seems less welcoming and more warning. Could the old folktales be true?
I've read several of Wendy Webb's books now, so I was excited to get a chance to read this before it publishes. I was happy that it was set near the town of Wharton where some of her previous books took place and this book even includes some of those characters! The descriptions of the forest and estate were both beautiful and eerily sinister. The circumstances throughout the book leave just enough doubt that it could all be a dream... but "there's no such thing as a coincidence". I couldn't put this book down and finished it in one day!
