Review: Little Night

Little Night: A Novel by Luanne Rice
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Anne and Clare are sisters who do everything together. That is until Anne meets Frederik and turns Anne against her sister. Really all of her family. She isn't allowed to see any of them.

Until one day when Clare makes a surprise visit -- She convinces Anne to pack up and leave him, after seeing bruises on her sister.

But just as they are packing, Frederik comes home, tries to strangle Anne, so Clare takes a hot log out of the fire and hits him with it. He doesn't die, but he does get Clare in trouble. BIG trouble. 2 years in prison.

They hadn't seen each other or spoken since, 18 years later. That is, until Grit, Anne and Frederik's daughter shows up suddenly at Clare's. Who knows what Grit really wants. Why is she there? Where is the rest of the family?

This book was mysterious and enjoyable. Without adding so much detail about the owls and stuff, it was fun to read. Sometimes an author can bore you with too much detail!

I gave it four stars because the ending fell flat for me personally. But others might have a different opinion and it was enjoyable!

I received a copy for free from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
