jennifermreads 's review for:
The Tenth Girl
by Sara Faring
Received advance reader’s copy from publisher through Baker & Taylor book supplier.
I stopped reading this twice. Finally, after reading the review of a book blogger I admire, I hunkered down and told myself I was going to finish this book because she really liked it. I finished, using many Post-Its along the way as I tried to pick up clues and figure out where this story was going.
I sat on writing this review for two weeks. I wasn’t sure how I felt about the story and I was even more unsure how I was going to rate it. But, in the end, the yank of a twist near the end was just too much. It not only turned the story on its head, it pulled it from one genre (horror) to another (sci-fi). I just couldn’t stomach being led down one road and having the pavement ripped out from under me. If this had stayed solidly in the horror genre and surprised me there? The rating would have been higher.
