A History of Wild Things is atmospheric, mysterious and engaging. I really enjoyed the book overall because I believe Ernshaw was able to take the reader into the minds of the characters but also into Pastoral. I will say that, for me, the downside was how predictable it was. The reveals weren’t entirely revealing since I was able to see them pretty early on in the book and I did feel like the ending was slightly rushed. However, despite it being predictable, I still felt the story and writing was compelling enough to keep reading.
