The Burning Girls

Promising plot, weak execution

Oh dear, where do I begin? The premise was good, it really had potential but sadly fizzled at the end. My major gripes with this book was the execution. A lot of time was wasted on two central characters who didnt need and quite frankly didn't have a whole lot to flesh out. If attention was given to the plot, particularly given that there are two (maybe three? It's all so confusing honestly) parallel stories, the ending would not have felt so rushed. There were some unanswered story points which begs the question ‘why introduce it?' The twist was rather predictable. Again, just marred by the execution.
