pickSomething in the Walls by Daisy Pearce is an intriguing and satisfying choice for spooky reading season. The story revolves around 13-year-old Alice, who is suspected of being possessed by a witch or is it a hoax? Newly qualified child psychologist Mina and skeptical journalist Sam are determined to investigate the matter. The plot is quite reminiscent of the movie The Conjuring 2.

bailedHow to properly evaluate a teen girl who has experienced trauma and now is withdrawn, says spooky things in a weird voice, and believes a witch is watching her, per the actual psychologist (and a reporter she barely knows but eagerly joined in this trip) in this book:
1. Pack a bag and move into the family's small house for an undecided length of time.
2. Have one private conversation with the afflicted girl of maybe 30 minutes' duration.

pickThis book had me hooked from beginning to end. Some people may not like it, but I thought it was pretty good.

Nora‘s first thought when they brought her the body was that it could not be her husband‘s.

pickThis cover 😍!! The story was good as well, sort of a folk horror/domestic drama/gothic horror. It ended up having the roots of the “mystery” being very realistic and sad, which I wasn‘t expecting, and I think I would have preferred it if it kept its feet more in the paranormal. That being said I still enjoyed it! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
so-soThis book was just okay mostly because even for horror, some of the story was a bit much.
Mina, a child psychologist, is contacted by Sam, a paranormal investigator, to help with his investigation of Alice, a girl who is rumored to be possessed. The investigation soon starts to take a more siniter turn.
