ezwolf 's review for:

Girl in the Creek by Wendy N. Wagner

3.0

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

This book tried to do too many things at once with too many characters. I had a hard time keeping track of who was who, both in the friend group and outside forces. This also meant that I didn't particularly care about any of them so the deaths that happened were hollow.

Erin and her friends were way too trusting of the situations they were putting themselves in (ex. Erin just going off alone to ask "The Mushroom Man" some questions just because "he was nice". I'm sorry but if girls were going missing in a tiny town I was visiting, I would not just go off to find a strange man.)

Someone else may be able to get past these things and enjoy the story, but I could not.

Thank you to NetGalley for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
