The Night Child by Anna Quinn
3.0
3.5 stars.
Have you ever read a book where you knew what was going to happen but you hoped that it wouldn't and then it did, and it was awful? This was "The Night Child" by Anna Quinn for me.
The writing was decent. The story was not completely predictable. The time jumps were a little jagged and disorienting between present day and memory.
Overall, an interesting read with an inappropriate title. Not that I can think of a better one... just that it didn't quite fit.
This is Quinn's debut novel. I am unsure if I will seek further reading from this author as she continue's to write. Not a bad book by any means.
I do appreciate books that have endings that aren't the ultimate "....and they lived happily ever after."
Happy Reading!
