It is a FANTASTIC book, and everyone should read it. 𝚍𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚢 𝚕𝚒𝚏𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚞𝚜 𝚊𝚕𝚕, 𝚋𝚞𝚝 𝚠𝚎 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚎 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝚌𝚑𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚎𝚗𝚐𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚖𝚎𝚎𝚝 𝚒𝚝 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚍 𝚘𝚗. Wow, that in itself is something but…. Soak in the lyrical language, gently pacing and things that go bump in the night.

I thought some people were a tad harsh to her in her time of need. Only her sister, Madeleine understood and slowly brought her back from the brink. But it is the sweet love story of Stella and Gerald that was one of my favourite parts of this book. Stella and Annie were my favourite characters.

I was a nervous wreck not long after starting it but keep reading…. I adored 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙻𝙾𝚂𝚃 𝙾𝙽𝙴𝚂 by Anita Frank. -𝚆𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚕𝚒𝚟𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚒𝚗 𝚟𝚎𝚛𝚢 𝚍𝚒𝚏𝚏𝚒𝚌𝚞𝚕𝚝 𝚝𝚒𝚖𝚎𝚜 . Her mother is frantic, concerned for her mental health but Stella has lost her fiance not her mind.

As the strange occurrences increase Stella notices little things about Annie and begins to see her in a new light, realising she has a gift that could be the key to solving the mystery of Greyswick. 𝚆𝚎 𝚖𝚞𝚜𝚝 𝚊𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚜𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚗𝚐.

I was utterly consumed by the beautiful language used in this book; it made for a very atmospheric and creepy read. oh and wait till you meet Mr Spears and Hector….
