The Wailing Woman by Maria Lewis
5.0
I picked this up as my April read, though very late in the month because isolation depression and executive dysfunction is a thing.
I'm reading this as my pick for the Australian YA Bloggers and Readers 2020 challenge so I'm just going to copy over the review from the group as well.
1) What book did you pick for this month’s read?

2) Did you enjoy it?
Very, very much.
3) What rating would you give it out of five?
5/5
4) Was there anything in your book that touched you /resonated with you in some way?
Not really any touching/resonating, but I enjoyed the setting being Sydney and Newtown. Recognising things was fun
5) What was your favourite part of the book?
I enjoyed that as part of a series it was still a stand alone, as I hadn't realised it was part of a series when I picked it up as I did so as a "blind" pick up.
It was a little hard to get on board with the romance line of it because I felt like maybe there was some beginning to that in the other books that I was missing.
I love the inclusion of queer characters and that there was no questioning, it just was.
I'm loving the storyline and the way it's set up for more has me excited, so now I'll be hunting down the other books and stalking for the next one.
6) Who would you recommend read this book?
Fans of paranormal/supernatural fiction, people not after paranormal romance however
7) Try to sum up the book in one sentence.
You try to keep a banshee down and they will all come for you.
