Little Eve by Catriona Ward
5.0
This one is the pure definition of a slow burner - and so, so worth that first effort.
I probably read those first few pages five times over twice as many days, never progressing past the same lines (Dinah writes a letter, father's room lies empty, books wait unread, visit butcher's shop, rinse and repeat)
It took a weekend away with no other unread books around to push past those pages into the most unsettling read I've found in a long time. Eerie creepy dark and twistytwistytwisty - you can't trust anyone or anything here and it's pretty damn near perfect.
A slinking shadowed beauty of a thing, it'll haunt me for a good while yet
(and on that note: when can I read more of this author please, I don't think I could wait till winter when the chill will hit a little too close to home)
