smaung 's review for:

The Maidens by Alex Michaelides

2.0

dark emotional mysterious reflective fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

---

Gave it two stars because I did read it fairly easily/quickly. However, the plot twist at the end was unearned, unrealistic, and really spoiled any redeeming qualities of the book. 

Also the secret society and the Maiden group were barely in the book.
