The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring
2.0
In a mysterious boarding school at the edge of the world, a young teacher finds herself trying to understand her new students, get along with the staff and make a place for herself. She soon learns that there is a missing student and the the school is plagued by spirits and possibly cursed. Atmospheric and creepy, THE TENTH GIRL leads the reader to an unexpected conclusion.
Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for a fair review.
On NetGalley I gave this book 3 stars because I think there is an audience for this story. I am not the audience. I chose to read this book based on the description of the haunted boarding school with gothic overtones. The start is quite good, full of atmosphere. But the story soon fell apart for me. It jumped between narrators and one was not at all successful to me. The other was okay but there was a lot of repetition that was just tiresome. I skipped ahead to read the twist. Interesting premise. I also don’t think it’s appropriate for young adults, even if you could find one to slop through it.
