Something in the Walls by Daisy Pearce
2.25

I got this book in advance from NetGalley (yes, I’m late in reading it). It held a lot of promise. It sounded really creepy with an amazing cover. It wasn’t bad but honestly not as great as I was expecting. We follow Mina on a journey to prove that a young teenager is not possessed by a witch but rather has a scientific explanation. What she ends up discovering is far more disturbing.

Something in the Walls explores the reality of witch trials and how it was often just an excuse to abuse women and young girls. While I appreciate this connection, I’m really frustrated that we don’t find out what Alice’s affliction is. Was she mentally disturbed? Was it psychosomatic? Was she an actual witch?
