Little Girls by Ronald Malfi


 
Description from Goodreads:

"When Laurie was a little girl, she was forbidden to enter the room at the top of the stairs. It was one of many rules imposed by her cold, distant father. Now, in a final act of desperation, her father has exorcised his demons. But when Laurie returns to claim the estate with her husband and ten-year-old daughter, it’s as if the past refuses to die. She feels it lurking in the broken moldings, sees it staring from an empty picture frame, hears it laughing in the moldy greenhouse deep in the woods…

At first, Laurie thinks she’s imagining things. But when she meets her daughter’s new playmate, Abigail, she can’t help but notice her uncanny resemblance to another little girl who used to live next door. Who died next door. With each passing day, Laurie’s uneasiness grows stronger, her thoughts more disturbing. Like her father, is she slowly losing her mind? Or is something truly unspeakable happening to those sweet little girls?"

This is another book I have had on my to-be-read pile for too many years but I finally got around to reading it when I found myself having some time whilst relaxing on holiday.

I was really looking forward to an intense, creepy and scary story that would make me want to sleep with the light but, alas, this didn't give it to me.  It was just full of the same with nothing new unfortunately and it was way too descriptive for me resulting in some areas being skipped past.  It did pick up towards the end but, by that time, I wasn't that bothered.

Unfortunately, not for me but I'm sure it will appeal to many especially if some other reviews are to go by so don't take my word for it, give it a go.  Thanks to the author, Kensington Books and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Little Girls.
