People say the house is cursed.
It preys on the weakest, and young women are its favorite victims.
In Louth, they're called the Dead Girls.
Don’t Tell a Soul by Kirsten Miller is a modern love letter to Gothic literature, filled with a haunted manor, a mysterious mural, and a string of dead girls. The main character is even named Bram, after all, which seems like an obvious nod to Bram Stoker.
Set in the sleepy town of Louth, it’s a beautifully atmospheric mystery filled with twists and turns. However, some of the plot twists were revealed in unclimactic info dumps, and I feel if you poked at the story’s explanations too hard, the story would fall apart at the seams.
Overall, Don’t Tell a Soul starts of really strong, but two-thirds of the way through some of the character decisions are baffling and seem to be done sheerly for cheap scares, which unfortunately ruined some of the story’s believability for me.
Thank you, NetGalley and and Delacorte Press, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
