The Tenth Girl
by Sara Faring
DNF 14%
I read a lot of mixed reviews before going into this one, but they were all so vague that I decided I would just have to jump in the deep end and decide for myself. It sounded so good: a YA Historical Horror/Thriller sent in Argentina with Patagonian mythology.
The prologue and first chapter were just what I was hoping for. The atmosphere was creepy and I was completely in. And then...
The second narrator was introduced. The contrast completely threw me, and it was a struggle to read. It went from creepy to just plain weird in the space of a couple pages.
It doesn't seem like enough to quit, but I was just not in the mood. Then I did something I've never done before. I read the last 15%.
I didn't like the twist, and am glad I didn't put the time into reading the whole thing. Unfortunately, that's all I can say on the matter with going full rant and spoiling it. To me, it just felt like a cop out.
