I really enjoyed Truly, Darkly Deeply by Victoria Selman that had to read her new book without a doubt. This for me is another case where a book is really good then I feel disappointed by the next even though I did enjoy it.

This story follows two sisters Finn and Izzy. Three girls go to a party at Turtle Lake and only two come back. The author says the story is based on true events but is a work of fiction but when Izzy makes new friends I couldn't help getting Charles Manson and his family vibes. This alone was enough to hold my interest.

I did enjoy the book but at times I found it a little repetitive. The story had its few twists with one that made me go back into the earlier part of the story to see if I was on the right track. The final twist I didn't guess but it didn't give me a WT... moment either. There are themes of child grooming and of course murder but the book isn't too graphic so just putting that out there.

I did enjoy this book overall but did find it pretty average. I will read more by the author in the future. ( )
