A review by j_reads_nightmares
Sundial by Catriona Ward

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

 
Yes, yes, yes! I had read Ward’s previously novel The Last House on Needless Street, and was super impressed by the whole story, plot twist, and writing in general (immediate 5 stars). I went into Sundial a little hesitantly, worried that it wouldn’t live up. But I ended up completely devouring it and love it even better than Needless (which I didn’t think would be possible!). 
 
Sundial, encompassing a mysterious past for the MC (Rob) and her current family drama (domestic abuse, not connecting with her child, ect), is thoroughly creepy and keeps readers guessing what will happen next. With a heavy dash of what seems to be supernatural and horror elements, this thriller is so much more than your typical ‘whodunit’ and I highly suggest this to any fans of both thrillers and horror. 
 
Reading other reviews, I see that Ward has a few other books published – so I’m gonna go look into that and add those to my TBR ASAP. And consider Ward a new auto-buy author for her future work.
