Synopsis:
Set amongst the eerie Scottish countryside the story follows three women over the course of an eighteenth birthday celebration weekend. Each of them has a deep, dark secret.
My thoughts:
Feast was all kinds of creepy in the best possible way.
I love a book that rips characters apart and lets you really get to know them- O'Grady does this without making obvious what she is doing.
If for no other reason, read this book for the atmosphere- it has a touch of gothic, horror, and thriller which makes for an unsettling and addictive read.
Thank you to the publisher, Allen and Unwin for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for my review.
