This was going to get a 4star rating until the last chapter where the whole thing flopped off a cliff. I am so annoyed. I found this well written, compelling, excellently paced, an interesting mixture of crime horror and the supernatural! but the end. OMG the end. I hate it when the killer is revealed in an incoherent rush in the last few pages and no explanation as to why they committed the murder is ever provided. I just don't get it. There was so much potential and a great selection of interesting and intriguing characters. It gets a two because I feel cheated by the whole thing.

very slow & uninteresting so far. the main character is a child, which I tend to hate in books and the writing is mid, so it’s not urging me to read on.

Meh, it's slow, dull and the most suspenful parts are dull. The twist at the end while unexpected, I didn't care for. I pushed through for the sake of finishing the short book

This is the book I wish I had written. It evoked something very familiar to me, I'm not sure what - insecurity as a child, a mother who is into crystals and such, the claustrophobia of a small village, the small space in the day-to-day influenced by magic and myth... I found the author's descriptions highly evocative and the current of raw emotion running through the book felt convincing and moving. The landscape is a character in its own right, which I love.
