Girls of Brackenhill by Kate Moretti

3.0

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for a free galley of Girls of Brackenhill in exchange for my honest review. I definitely was intrigued from the very start with the line "I didn't mean to kill her..." I enjoyed the dual timeline, the atmospheric writing the made it quite easy to be drawn into the spookiness of Brackenhill, a creepy castle-like estate isolated in the Catskills. Unfortunately, I am not a ghost story person and just couldn't buy into the whole haunted house premise. I should have paid better attention when requesting because no matter how hard I try, I just don't enjoy suspense/thrillers like this. The book also left me with questions resulting in the book feeling a bit unfinished in my opinion. I think there are plenty of readers out there who thoroughly enjoy this genre and will love this book, however, I'm sadly not one of them.
