Graveyard of Lost Children by Katrina Monroe

5.0

Graveyard of Lost Children is a chilling read by bestselling author Katrina Monroe. This is my second read by this author, the first being They Drown Our Daughters. I adore the themes, writing and stories of both of these books and will purchase anything else going forward that they write. The themes in this book will tug at hear heart strings, while the almost horror elements will leave you feeling uneasy and wondering what’s real. The story is set over multiple timelines with multiple generations of narrators. Olivia and her wife, just recent gave birth to a daughter. When Olivia was born her mother tried to kill her declaring that Olivia was a changeling and to get her ‘real baby’ back she needed to trade her with the women in the well. Now Olivia herself is questioning and something seems a bit off about her own daughter, Flora. Is this history repeating itself, post-partum depression or something much more sinister. You won’t want to miss this hauntingly beautiful tale that will make you ask yourself some hard questions and think about what you would do if in the same situation. I adored this book and can’t wait to see what the author puts out next.
