The Dark Between The Trees by Fiona Barnett
3.0

3.5 stars.

As an introduction into this more thriller, slow build of suspense genre, I’ve got to say I really enjoyed myself. It wasn’t stand out amazing but the book held my interests and I really enjoyed it.

The dual timelines between the 17th century and the present day were quite fun to see develop, but honestly, I found that I didn’t really care for the present day group that much at all. I was far more interested in the Davies troop.

Captain Davies and Sergeant Harper were my favourite characters. They both really brought this novel to life and I adored them both for it. I think if the book had solely followed them, without flitting back to Alice’s research group, I’d have rated the book higher with 4 stars.

Either way, this was a good book, delightfully creepy and times. If you’re the type of person who wants definitive answers this might not be the book for you, because it doesn’t answer many questions you might have, but if you don’t mind that then definitely give it a go!
