This book was a wild ride and the plot twists left my head spinning.  I absolutely loved it. This was my first Alice Feeney book but it will definitely not be my last. It was spooky and atmospheric! It was suspenseful and left me on the edge of my seat!

3.5

Overall, I very much enjoyed Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney. The only issue I had was with the pacing. If the author intended for the primary twist of the story to be shocking, she spent too much time in the middle of the book laying out breadcrumbs for it to come as a surprise, and it weighed the book down. That being said, I didn't guess the ending completely and I thought the book was surprisingly emotional and I felt myself fighting back tears. I think this book is a strong 3.5 and definitely worth a read!
