Whiteland by Rosie Cranie-Higgs



You’re only going to get burned.’
‘By what?’
‘Monsters,’ she calls into the night. ‘And girls who go looking for them.’

In a lonely Swiss mountain village, Kira’s holiday erupts. It’s winter, it’s eerie, and out in the woods, something imbeds its claws into her sister.

When Romy returns, she’s different. She’s violent, inhuman, and by rights, should be dead. But all their parents care about is that she’s still alive. That is…until their parents disappear.

In the otherworldly forest, Kira starts to pry, but secrets like to be kept. Alongside sarcastic Scotsman Callum, Kira stumbles upon the folkloric world of Whiteland, eating all she knows.

Something has changed.

It’s all but imperceptible, but present nonetheless; a change in the air, or a shift in her perceptions.

She stills, listening, sensing.

If Kira runs away, she’ll be safe. If she doesn’t, her family might not survive. In the end, there’s no mercy in revenge.
 

MY REVIEW: 2 Stars ⭐️


Stretching her mouth to an inhuman gape, the woman starts to scream.




The beginning of the book was really creepy and I loved it. But, for me the story just fizzled out and became a chore to read. 

I really hope others love it and you should decide for yourself at any rate. 

*Thank you to Netgalley and BHC Press for a digital copy of this book.
