A review by ashify
Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney

dark emotional mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

A punch to the gut. But in a good, sad way. 

Seaglass has thin walls that like to eavesdrop, and tired floorboards that like to talk. This house has never been good at keeping secrets. 

First of all, I don’t think I can write a proper review for this one. At least, not yet. But loads of applaud to Stephanie Racine for being a wonderful narrator. I hung on to every pause and shaly breaths. 

This book just blew me off. You see, visual description of gore or murder or blood never fazes me when I read them. But the fracture that centers this story, had me shaken to the core. This story makes me question Why. Why must it happen the way it did? 

I remember seeing a drama some years before, & an incident in it made me feel the same, made me ask why. It wasn’t something very horrible or anything. But I had this feeling of being punched in the gut. This book made me feel the same.
