The Lost Village by Camilla Sten
3.0
The Lost Village had a good balance of creepy and unreliable narratives. I did find it obvious and predictable, but that was fine. I really enjoyed the flashbacks, but was easily annoyed by the main character in the present. We follow two timelines: 1959 where an entire population of a small town vanishes; and the present where a team of filmmakers are making a documentary to find out what happened to the town.
The story was heartbreaking at times and at others, unbearable (again, irritating protag). I think it was by design, though, so you're constantly on a rollercoaster of emotions.
This is a good book if you're looking for a quick read that will have you jumping any time your house settles.
