A review by bethniamh
Girls of Little Hope by Sam Beckbessinger, Dale Halvorsen
3.5
Many thanks to NetGalley and Titan Books for a digital ARC in exchange for a review.
While I'm a big fan of horror films, I don't tend to go for horror fiction - I don't know why. The mystery aspect of this book drew me in, however, and I raced through the second half in a single sitting. I can understand the comparisons to Stranger Things, but for me this book was more enjoyable.
I was very interested in each of the three girls' background, but I found myself wanting more about Rae; she seemed to be the least developed character of the three and was given less to do. The ending also felt a little rushed - maybe a chapter or two more would have given a bit more room for a more satisfying round-off.
Ultimately, I really enjoyed this book, and it kept me guessing up until the end.
