A masterpiece

Tana French truly has a way of creating a scene and building suspense. A little bit of a slow start for me but so so worth it through and through. Couldn’t put it down once I reached a certain point. Excellent!

4.5/5 🌟 I read this series in middle school and circled back to it in effort to re-explore some favorites as an adult. I’m so happy I started with this one, it felt like slipping back into a cozy familiar dark bedtime story. Libba Bray’s writing style is suitable for both YA and adults in this series. 

I noticed so much more allusion, foreshadowing, and hidden gems this second time around.

If you like:

Sisterhood

Secrets & Plot Twists 

then this trilogy will hit the spot for you.
