Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney

dark mysterious tense

5.0

This is the perfect Halloween read! I absolutely loved the atmosphere. The eerie and remote cottage just was the perfect setting for this creepy mystery. I adore Alice Feeney's writing style and I'm usually not tabbing thrillers but Daisy Darker was just so incredibly well written. The story feels very lively and I could easily imagine all those different rooms in my head. I love that there is also a little map of the lower floor of the cottage in the book. So cool! 
The only thing I was missing was that I sometimes felt that characters lacked some emotions. With everything that happened that night it sometimes felt like the characters just acknowleged what happened but didn't really react to it. 
The ending was not what I would have expected but I really enjoyed it! Also the feeling of reading the first page after finishing the book was so good!
