The Familiar Dark by Amy Engel
3.0
I found the portions of the book that were focused on the main character's grief to be gripping, and I feel like this was worth reading for that element, even though I found quite a lot about the novel disappointing. The resolution to the mystery was a disappointment, but the author did keep me invested through the first few twists.
While I liked Eve as a character, something was off about how she interacted with the book's setting. She seemed to be observing the town she has lived in her whole life almost as though she was an outsider, which doesn't fit the story.
