Louisa doesn't believe in magic, until her teenage aunt Neela is kidnapped to the goblin market.
The market is a place of magic, where twisting streets, succulent fruits, glimmering jewels, and death are on offer to the unwary human. An enticing place that her mother and aunt barely escaped seventeen years ago, paying a terrible price.
With only three days before the market disappears, Lou must navigate the treacherous market, controlled by bloodthirsty goblins who crave vengeance against her family. She must learn the songs and tricks of the goblins to save Neela, or the market might just end up claiming her too.

I really loved this book. I love books about magic and goblins and dark things. The book reminds me of the Shadowhunter books and the Practical Magic series. I liked the fact there are flashbacks to what happened 18 years ago when May almost lost herself to the Goblin Market and how the author gradually reveals the link between this and Neela being taken. It's quite dark at times as the market is not a pretty place. I loved this book.
