Little Eve by Catriona Watd
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Synopsis: on the small isle of Altnaharra, a small clan is preparing for the end day with the adder. The adder is their god and his power can only be had by one. Little Eve is prepared to do anything to get that power. When Chief Inspector Black begins investigating a brutal murder, their world begins to come undone.
My Thoughts: This one came so close to being a DNF for me. This book was so slow to read. I couldn’t get more than 20 pages an hour in. Not that it wasn’t interesting, but it just read so slow. The last 25% of the book was the only thing that save this one for me.
