Hello my fellow readers. Today I wanna talk about this book 'We Played With Fire' by Catherine Barter. This book was the second book in the februari bookboxclub-box 'Sisters of coven' (theme). This bookcover is again a pretty cover. I like that the cover shows u the story that your gonna read in this book.
The book was kind of hard to get into and a bit confusing at the beginning.
This story is set in the 1800s America and we follow Maggie's POV. She is the second youngest daughter (of the fox sisters) and she speaks with the death. Maggie's character is developed well and she is easy to connect with. Her inner thougths, doubts and worries are very intersting to explore. I didn't connect with the other characters. Because they didn't had much depth in them.
This book is a quick read, but the story build up is slow placed. The story build up to the ending was fun to read, however it didn't felt like a typical YA read to me. It's a fun story, but I wouldn't read it again. Because it was a fun and all, but I don't love it. I hoped the story had more depth in it and a bigger story to read.
Synopsis:
Maggie has witnessed impossible things. But no one believes her, and now her family has taken her away to spend the winter upstate in a remote, freezing farmhouse.
Bored and angry, Maggie and her younger sister Kate start to play tricks, rapping on the floorboards above their parents' bedroom, cracking their toes under the table, and telling tales about noises in the night. Then the house starts to make sounds of its own. Neither Maggie nor Kate can explain it, but it seems as though someone, or something, is trying to speak to them.
Inspired by the incredible true tale of the fox sisters, the girls who made their fortune in nineteenth-century America by speaking to ghosts.
Love,
DarkBlue.
