The May Queen Murders by Sarah Jude
2.0
2.5 Stars
I don't know if it was Ivy's superstitious nature or the wafting environment of the Glen, but this story never felt grounded to me. I never felt the heavy weight of terror Ivy did, or felt the town's sense of urgency to find the urban legend Markle.
I personally felt that we didn't spend enough time with the adults of the town to be invest in their history (The May Queen, Tarra's murder, and Markle), which was the entire setup for what happened in the present.
