Taís's Book Review: The Women in the Walls by Amy Lukavics

Description:

Lucy Acosta’s mother died when she was three. Growing up in a Victorian mansion in the middle of the woods with her cold, distant father, she explored the dark hallways of the estate with her cousin, Margaret. They’re inseparable—a family. 

When her aunt Penelope, the only mother she’s ever known, tragically disappears while walking in the woods surrounding their estate, Lucy finds herself devastated and alone. Margaret has been spending a lot of time in the attic. She claims she can hear her dead mother’s voice whispering from the walls. Emotionally shut out by her father, Lucy watches helplessly as her cousin’s sanity slowly unravels. But when she begins hearing voices herself, Lucy finds herself confronting an ancient and deadly legacy that has marked the women in her family for generations.

Taís's Review:

This book had some Stephen King vibes to it and was really well written. It was very descriptive, but not overdone, making it very easy to visualize as Lucy made her way along the book. There were some great twists that had me second guessing how it was going to end, and when it did it was an ending that I for one did not see coming. The only reason I took away one star was because of the ending, but that is just my opinion. Other than that, I still highly recommend this book. Although keep in mind, this is not for someone with a weak stomach as it can get pretty gory. So, with the profanity which includes the dropping of the F-bomb (used sparingly) and the excessive amount of gore, I would suggest this book be read by more of a mature audience in the age 14+ group.
