If you’re looking for a witchy, thriller, perfect for an October night, definitely pick up The Burning Girls by C.J. Tudor. Tudor creates the perfect atmospheric, psychological thriller set in a small English village. While I don’t usually enjoy books with dual perspectives, the mother-daughter dual perspective in this novel works perfectly. The story line follows Reverend Jack Brooks and her daughter Flo, who move to the small village, Chapel Croft, after the mysterious death of the village’s previous Reverend. As the pair get acclimated to their new home, they discover the village’s pained past that includes missing girls, ghostly apparitions, and a history of witchcraft. Beautifully written and poignant, C.J. Tudor’s The Burning Girls is a must read, especially since it will soon be turned into a television series!
