The Lost Girls by Kate Hamer
4.0
"But one thing I've learned is being unlost is not the same as being found."
This is the sequel to Kate Hamer's book "The Girl in the Red Coat" (which is phenomenal!) and I read it straight after finishing the latter, desperate to read more about how Beth and Carmel's stories unfold. I wasn't disappointed.
The Lost Girls was just as mesmerising from the start. Kate's writing transports me to another world entirely and it's like nothing else exists when I'm reading her books.
I was hoping to see some of the other characters from the first book (Dorothy & the twins) and find out what happened to them but maybe that's for a third book in the future? She says, hopefully!
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the opportunity to read.
I love the characterisation in these books. Hamer captures childlike voices, wonder and feelings so vividly, not to mention the American/British "voice" differences.
I didn't find this quite as tense and unputdownable as the first one, hence the four stars, but thoroughly enjoyed hearing Mercy's story and seeing how Carmel sets about rebuilding herself. I can't wait to read more by this author.
