Imagine a book somewhere between American Gods and Faulkner. In brief: a good book. Absolutely worth your time.--Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author, on The Hum and the Shiver

No one knows where the Tufa came from, or how they ended up in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee. Enigmatic and suspicious of outsiders, the Tufa live quiet lives in the hills and valleys of Cloud County. While their origins may be a mystery, there are hints of their true nature buried in the songs they have passed down for generations.

Bronwyn Hyatt, a pure-blood Tufa, has always insisted on doing things her own way, regardless of the consequences. Even though Tufa rarely leave Cloud County, she enlisted in the Army to escape the pressures of Tufa life--her family, her obligations as a First Daughter, and her dangerous ex-boyfriend. But after barely surviving a devastating ambush that killed most of her fellow soldiers, Private Hyatt returns to Cloud County wounded in body and in spirit. But danger lurks in the mountains and hollows of her childhood home. Cryptic omens warn of impending tragedy, and a restless haint lurks nearby, waiting to reveal Bronwyn's darkest secrets. Worst of all, Bronwyn has lost touch with the music that was once a vital part of her identity.

Now Bronwyn finds the greatest battle to be right here at home, where her obligations struggle with her need for freedom, and if she makes the wrong choice, the consequences could be deadly for all the Tufa. . . .

A sheer delight.--Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Long lasting for our dog. I'd buy again.
My wife fills the cups with applesauce, peanut butter and or pumpkin and then freezes it. The dog loves it and keeps him occupied for a little while. All his other toys and chews get chewed up in a couple of days and this has already been several weeks. I want to buy more cups if available. I'd buy it again and will look for similar items.

Durable, hard chew toy
My dog loves this toy!! He destroys everything but this has lasted us months. A lot of times he chews on it without us even filling the cup. Perfect size for a bigger dog like a golden retriever, but our small dog enjoys it too. Very durable chew toy!

Pieces of Plastic When Biting
My dog spent 15 minutes and then the item started to break up. As the dog was biting, little pieces were showing in his tongue. I threw it away. My dog is a lab.

Great idea
These are a good idea, I use frozen pumpkin and frozen blueberries in a cup, then put it in the corn, for my dog to have, while I'm at work.
