Dead Girls

A primary school girl's best friend's body is found, and she decides to take matters into her own hands as the grown-ups are taking way too long. There is a supernatural hint here and there, which I didn't entirely expect, turning the otherwise light-hearted writing -from the girl's childlike perspective- quite dark and eerie.

I'm rounding this up to 5 stars from a solid 4.5. This will not be for everyone. It is deeply disturbing and makes for an uncomfortable read. Trigger warnings galore. Yet, I was riveted, I had to know what happened. Thera is such an intriguing character, and while some of her actions are far fetched, I have a feeling she will stay with me for a while yet.
