It's like Westworld meets classic psychological thriller. I enjoyed the blend of mystery and Argentinian culture.
It’s so hard to write a review without spoiling.
I enjoyed this immensely. Many have said it’ll be a polarizing read and I do think that’s true....but omg I LOVED IT.
Trigger warnings: it’s a dark world there are lots of reviews that have the trigger warnings so heed them if reading a horror that involves children and heinous alluded to acts would at all bother you.

I finished this book days ago...and it's taken me days to figure out how to say something other this book was so dreadfully boring. If I hadn't asked for this book for Christmas and actually got it...I wouldn't have finished it. That's the only reason I pushed through.
I loved the cover. I loved the naked hardcover. I loved the synopsis. I love gothic horror. It had the makings of a good, creepy story. But when I read it, I got nothing. A boarding school isolated deep in Argentina, reopened after so long and only 10 girls as students. I was ready. And then I was lost. I think there were two timelines. Or maybe 2 POVs. I don't think I've ever had this hard a time keeping up with a book but I'm sure my absolute boredom had something to do with it.
Maybe I'll read something by this author again. I won't say that I won't because this is a debut. If you enjoyed this, great. I'm happy one of us wasn't bored to tears.

The Tenth Girl is for fans of The Haunting of Hill House! If you loved the creepy feel and images from the Netflix show this is the book for you. Set in South America, at a boarding school, Mavi escapes the government that took her mother by becoming a teacher. When only 9 students show, Mavi begins questioning what happened to the 10th girl and what really happens to the house at night. And just when the book builds into a direction to escape the house, a huge twist to the plot lays before you. You won’t be able to see this one coming!
