Pine by Francine Toon
4.0

Stunning

This book is not one I would usually pick, but I was not disappointed.

The setting is absolutely stunning, the Scottish forests are depicted as both mystical and unforgiving and the backdrop of gloomy damp cottages and dark rural roads gives this book a chilling vibe.

Something I particularly enjoy about this story is the fact that the author doesn't over narrate. Characteristics are explained just the right amount and plot holes are covered just enough so the reader doesn't question them.
