Resurrection Girls
Ratings3
Average rating2.3
Olivia Foster hasn’t felt alive since her little brother drowned in the backyard pool three years ago. Then Kara Hallas moves in across the street with her mother and grandmother, and Olivia is immediately drawn to these three generations of women. Kara is particularly intoxicating, so much so that Olivia not only comes to accept Kara's morbid habit of writing to men on death row, she helps her do it. They sign their letters as the Resurrection Girls.But as Kara’s friendship pulls Olivia out of the dark fog she’s been living in, Olivia realizes that a different kind of darkness taints the otherwise lively Hallas women—an impulse that is strange, magical, and possibly deadly.

This just wasn't what I expected it to be at all. There was little discussion or exploration of the fantastical/paranormal elements or the writing to inmates and it instead focused mainly on the death of Olivia's brother and the grief her family has been experiencing after the fact. I liked the beginning of this and thought that it set up for some really cool things to be introduced but they never ended up being fully formed. Kara was a terrible character, and this could have be played on because she is the “daughter of death”, but that never happened so she just seemed like a terrible friend and person with little to no backstory. Prescott's character was pretty unnecessary as well.
I think the cover, title, and synopsis do not match up with the actual content.
I am baffled and mildly peeved at how such eloquent and beautiful writing could end up being so dull.
