I must
agree with others when they say that the marketing ploy was better than the
actual book!
This book just wasn't for me...the book was
quite repetitive and was mostly about ghosts, spirits, and dark fairy
tales.
Throughout the book, the main character tries
to remember her horrible past, and why she was treated the way she was. I felt like
we were turning in circles on that subject, it took way too long for us to find
out what truly happened.
However, there were two things I enjoyed, the
writing and the ending. The writing was superb and really painted a scene! The
whole time, the main character Caro, is living in her step-mother's huge
mansion, and the description of the mansion made me want to clean the house the
whole time. You know that's a good description.
Also, the story got much better at around 75%,
there was a bit of action and we figure out the childhood secret that Caro
didn't remember. Also, the actual last page of the book was quite a
cliffhanger, I would definitely want to know more.
Thank you to Avon Books UK for providing me
with an electronic ARC of this book via NetGalley. As usual, my reviews are my
honest and unbiased opinions.
There’s a stranger in your house…
When her stepmother dies unexpectedly, Caro
returns to her childhood home in Derbyshire. She hadn’t seen Elizabeth in
years, but the remote farmhouse offers refuge from a bad relationship, and a
chance to start again.
But going through Elizabeth’s belongings
unearths memories Caro would rather stay buried. In particular, the story her
stepmother would tell her, about two little girls and the terrible thing they
do.
As heavy snow traps Caro in the village, where
her neighbours stare
and whisper, Caro is forced to question why Elizabeth hated her so much, and
what she was hiding. But does she really want to uncover the truth?
