Good Girls Die First by Kathryn Foxfield
3.0
This book has left me SO CONFUSED.
On the one hand, this book reads like a continuous acid trip, and that’s a lot of fun. Between shards of mirrors, bright lights, creepy whispers and teenage skullduggery. This book is never dull. It’s a supernatural thriller that keeps you hooked from page to page, and that’s great.
On the other hand, this book reads like a continuous acid trip and that’s confusing as hell. There’s too many characters, the magic of the world is bonkers, and it skips from scene to scene with almost no pause (which is explained away using the “magic” of the island, but is still very jarring to read.)
So yes, there was a lot I liked about it. But a lot that left me feeling... underwhelmed.
Also the ending felt like a bit of a 180. I was fully prepared for Ava to BECOME Whispers and I was actually looking forward to that kind of a dark ending and then... well, I’ll let you read it. Either way, felt like a bit of an anti climax to me.
