Something in the Walls by Daisy Pearce is a shocking story about a modern day village caught up in the beliefs and superstitions of the past.
Mina is a newly minted child psychologist and she jumps at the chance to investigate a case involving a young girl accused of being a witch, especially when she finds out the girl is rumoured to be able to speak with the dead.
It soon becomes clear to the reader that Mina’s motives aren’t altogether altruistic, and soon she is caught up in the strange occurrences surrounding the young girl, Alice, and the village she lives in.
There is so much going on in this book. The strange behaviours of the family soon make Mina, and the reader, believe that maybe ?Alice’s affliction is being faked, but it’s soon clear that something is going on, whether or not it has anything to do with the paranormal remains to be seen.
Creepy and terrifying, Something in the Walls shows what can happen when superstition, and a mob mentality take over and the awful things otherwise sensible people can participate in when they do.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
