apumaru 's review for:
The Insatiable Volt Sisters
by Rachel Eve Moulton
Simplified summary:
The Volt sisters are forced to return to the island where they grew up to face something from their family history.
Opening lines:
My earliest memories in the house on Fowler Island are of the girls - Henrietta and Beatrice - their carnivorous joy echoing off the walls of Quarry Hollow.
Review:
This novel is basically mild magical realism meets family drama with sparse sprinkling of horror. We're going back and forth in time from 4 POVs and it just feels like so much happens and nothing much happening at the same time. This was not my cup of tea and I was a bit bored for a majority of the book.
