The Goddesses by Swan Huntley
4.0
3 1/2 stars.
No specific spoilers, but you’ve still been warned.
A very enjoyable read, however maybe not your typical psychological thriller.
From the get go, I sort of had an idea of what would unfold, I just wasn’t sure which way it would get there. The “thriller” part is not very prominent until the last part of the novel, however the build up to it is beautiful, and the domestic drama was well written. I found myself really resonating with Nancy, in that I wanted to be like Ana at first. Huntley does a wonderful job of getting you into the water and turning up the heat. You don’t realize it’s heating up until it’s boiling, and at that point it’s too late to jump out (or stop reading in this case).
All poorly worded metaphors aside, Goddesses was an enjoyable read. Would I read it again? Probably not, but it makes for a good casual read.
