The Details:
Narrated by Avena Mansergh-Wallace
Unabridged
A haunting and eery story, discussing the supernatural, trauma from childhood abuse and exploitation, grooming and pedophilla, relationship break down and anxiety and fear.
This was a hard read, but the way the characters engaged with eachother and expressed thoughts on the above topics felt real and raw.
Some of Daisy and Nina's choices irritated me, but overall, I feel like the story itself was powerful and chilling, with much more depth to it all than I was expecting.
