The Night Child A Novel by Anna Quinn published by Blackstone Publishing was a great read. I was given an arc through Netgalley for an honest review.
The story is centered around Nora as she finishes teaching a high school English class, when something unexpected occurs she sees the face of a girl with startling blue eyes above the desks. She has yet to figure out if she has lost her minds or if she is seeing a ghost. As the author continues to unfold the story for us we realize that the past has finally caught up with Nora and the future is not on solid ground. This novel is well written but the topic makes it hard to read. Poor Nora needs to fix her fractured past in order to bloom in her future. A thriller with dark topics that everyone who wants to read something different should try this book. This is a 4 star read for me.
