Summary

The Lost Girls is a dark and twisty supernatural thriller, perfect for fans of Stephen King and Neil Gaiman.   

Edinburgh student Rose MacLeod has been losing time for as long as she can remember. Days and weeks disappear, leaving terrifying gaps in her memory. Now she is seeing horrifying visions - waking nightmares of violence and death. Around the world young women like her are being killed, and Rose has a ringside seat. 

Mal Fergusson was raised to hunt demons across Scotland. With his father dead and his brother in a coma, he no longer believes in the grand battle between good and evil. Instead, he scrapes a living as an investigator and hit man for the supernatural Mafia of Edinburgh. 

Tensions are rising in Scotland’s capital, and Mal must capture Rose to keep his demonic boss sweet - but is he really willing to harm an innocent to do so?

The narration put me off

The narration of the story is dreadful, I switched it off after 20 minutes. The narrator has a very monotone voice and fails to billed suspense.

I think it is an interesting story, but the narration spoils it

I usually like this author, but the narration is so bad, I cannot connect. It is like she is reading a list, no attempt to differentiate between characters, no space between paragraphs or chapters. Intriguing story , try reading yourself.

Gutted as the story seems great but narration…

Going to buy the paperback as I am really into the unfolding story but I just cannot get past the narration. I can’t put my finger on it really and tried different speeds but I keep blanking big sections and having to rewind, as it’s so monotone. And I wince every time they say ‘Aisling’ . I’m stopping on chapter 5 and moving to a paperback instead.

Screen stuck

Not sure if my screen is stuck or I am having to give a review before I can navigate away - hope it’s the former

Author creates a fascinating supernatural world

I enjoy Sarah Painter's books. She creates cosy, comfortable supernatural worlds, weaking folktale and superstition into gritty everyday, ordinariness. I do wish the recording artists of some of the books were better advised on pronunciation, though. inIn this book, the mispronunciation of the name Aisling is a big distraction and irritation. Otherwise it's a good story and a good read.

An easy read

I’ll start by saying I really enjoyed this before I get picky. I’m not sure if this isn’t aimed at Young Adults and if the ideas had gone into an adult novel it could have been even more intriguing
