“The truest type of story is the kind you tell all alone, to yourself.”
This book has been sitting on my shelf for a while now and I am so happy that I can finally say that i've read it.
The Girl from Widow Hills is the type of story that is best to go into knowing nothing. It's the perfect thriller to drive into if you're looking to get into this genre. It had mysteries and suspense surrounding two different time frames and characters that you couldn't help but feel suspicious of.
The Girl from Widow Hills was the first book of this author's that I've read and I can't wait to pick up more of their books!
Super short review from me because I am still reeling from the second book of The Poppy War trilogy.
I enjoyed this story and was very pleased with the ending and the plot twist therein.
this story really sucked me in but the ending was so underwhelming yet simultaneously out of left field. i like mysteries that trick me but still track when i can look back at the clues i missed previously. this wasn't that, but the middle 200 pages grabbed my attention nonetheless. 3 stars!!
Recensie van audioboek (via Storytel)
Terwijl ik toch bezig was met deze auteur, luisterde ik meteen ook naar haar nieuwste release.
Sfeervol en dreigend, maar minder onderhoudend dan haar andere boeken. De personages lagen mij niet echt, met het overdreven onwetend hoofdpersonage en de onderontwikkelde nevenpersonages.
Er zaten toch een paar goeie twists in, wat aanzette om verder te lezen, maar een compleet krankzinnig einde.
Al bij al opnieuw een onderhoudende rit, maar weinig memorabel.
