ARC review: The Lake of Lost Girls by Katherine Greene

ARC review: The Lake of Lost Girls by Katherine Greene

3 min read

The Lake of Lost Girls by Katherine Greene isn’t out until later this year but I had an early copy and (at the time of reading) nothing else on my Kindle due to be published soon so figured I’d jump in early. And I discovered that Katherine Greene is the pen name of bestselling authors A Meredith Walters and Claire C Riley. And is it just me or is it weird they both have initials in their names? Interestingly they’re both based in the UK but this is set in a small American college town and it’s their second collaboration.

Book review: What You Never Knew by Jessica Hamilton

Book review: What You Never Knew by Jessica Hamilton

2 min read

What You Never Knew by Jessica Hamilton starts with something quite devastating. Thankfully we’re prepared because the backcover blurb clearly tells us we’re going to be meeting someone who dies, nevertheless I felt sad we lost May before getting to know her.

Sometimes books featuring narrators who have died can be a little morbid or overly wistful, Hamilton however manages to insert (the ghost or spirit of) May into her sister’s life in quite an unobtrusive way.
