Missing girls, dark secrets, the past and dangerous caves.
Charlie and her niece Katie go to Hithechurch, England where Charlie is researching a book on local folklore. For Charlie it will be like coming home. When Charlie was a girl she met Emily, a girl her age with an abusive father. The girls perform a ritual to summon “Stitch Face Sue” an urban legend believed to haunt the town seeking revenge for her murder. Their ritual goes horribly, horribly wrong. Now, Emily has written a memoir about what happened when they were young, blaming Charlie for everything. Charlie wants to clear her name and find proof that Emily was the one to blame. But soon the past will collide with her present. While doing her research, Charlie learns of missing girls and feels as if she is being watched…
I had both the book and the audiobook. I thought the narrator did a fine job. The synopsis was very intriguing, and I had high hopes for this book. I think my hopes were a little too high. For me this book was slow in parts, and it dragged my enjoyment down. This is a case of me struggling with slower books. I will say that the last third of the book really picked up and was quite good.
Overall, I enjoyed the book but believe I would have enjoyed it even more if it weren’t so slow in parts. Others are enjoying this book more than I did, so please read their reviews as well.
