Starlings by Amanda
Linsmeier
Summary:
A dark YA fantasy debut
perfect for fans of House of Hollow and Small Favors.
In the wake of her father's death, a teen girl discovers a side of her family
she didn't know existed, and is pulled into a dark—and ancient—bargain she is
next in line to fulfill.
Kit’s father always told her he had no family, but his sudden death revealed
the truth. Now Kit has a grandmother she never knew she had—Agatha Starling—and
an invitation to visit her father’s hometown, Rosemont.
And Rosemont is picture perfect: the famed eternal roses bloom all year,
downtown is straight out of the 1950s . . . there’s even a cute guy to show Kit
around.
The longer Kit’s there, though, the stranger it all feels. The Starling family
is revered, but there’s something off about how the Starling women seem to be
at the center of the all the town’s important history. And as welcoming as the
locals are, Kit can’t shake the feeling that they're hiding something from her.
Agatha is so happy to finally meet her only granddaughter, and the town is
truly charming, but Kit can’t help wondering, if everything is so great in
Rosemont, why did her father leave? And why does it seem like he never wanted
her to find it?
Review:
This review is only a 3-star
review. It was well written and very
well edited the reason for the 3-star review I struggled to connect with the
characters and the book was easy to put down and walk away from it sometimes
for a few others until the next day. A good book grabs you from the first chapter
a great book grabs you from the very first page. This is just an Ok book. It was refreshing to see the quality of
editing, as so many books nowadays have way too many errors.
Conclusion:
Would I recommend this book to others? NO
Is this book priced correctly? Yes, the E-book
is overpriced.
Is this book a full-length novel or
novella? Full-length novel
Would I read other books by this Author? NO
I received this copy free for my honest review from NetGalley
