Great for spending a dark, rainy, windy Autumn evening....
I don't believe in ghosts, the after life or anything like that - I believe it's all to do with what you want to see. Yet I'm a sucker for a creepy ghost story and The Wayward Girls grabbed my attention from cover to blurb.
It's a slow burner for sure - but something about the strange, unexplained happenings creates lots of questions that you long for wanting answered which definitely kept me engaged and turning the pages.
I got that atmospheric setting that I long for in books of this genre - a sense that I was reading a good old fashioned kinda ghost story - the kind my teenage self would love! I felt the atmosphere was cleverly built up and also felt Lucy's concerns and worries about the house - even if like me, you don't believe in the paranormal this has an eerie feel to it that's hard to let go off.
A couple of loose ends went against my overall rating, but a great story for spending a dark, rainy, windy Autumn evening with.
