Little Darlings by Melanie Golding
Did not finish book. Stopped at 26%.

I was hoping for a more fantasy-leaning story but this worked more as a psychological thriller with a sprinkle of mythology. This book reminded me quite a bit of Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney, so if you liked that book you’ll love this one. It just wasn’t for me.
