mangocult 's review for:

The Children on the Hill by Jennifer McMahon
3.0

I wasn't quite vibing with this like I thought I would, but everyone kept saying "push through to get the twist near the end!", after which I continued reading and found myself asking the air around me "Is THIS the final twist they meant?!" more times than I could've anticipated.

It twists predictably, and then it twists unpredictably, and then it twists AGAIN and then by the time the last-ish one comes you're like "I'm gonna turn the page and find another one, aren't I?"

Overall I think the end was clever and interesting despite some of my other misgivings along the way. Worth a quick weekend if you want a non-taxing read for Spooky Szn!
