Graveyard of Lost Children by Katrina Monroe
2.0
Dude... what?
Usually, a book that would earn 2 or fewer stars from me is a book I DNF before the end, because I don't believe in forcing myself to finish things that aren't fun. In this case, I was holding out for a really good conclusion that would make everything else worth it in the end, but I only ended up further dissatisfied instead. Perhaps if it had been about 200 pages shorter and 25% more interesting, I would've had a better shot at enjoying it, and perhaps it hits differently if you're a parent, but the supernatural buildup in this story was completely and totally lost on me by the end.
No characters are particularly likable and the ending falls flat.
Petition to throw Olivia back into the well.
