At the Bottom of the Garden ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This new novel by Camilla Bruce absolutely captivated me from the first page. I am not new to Bruce’s writing and this novel fits along side her others in that it perfectly exemplifies her eerie and unsettling way of storytelling. Camilla Bruce is very quickly becoming one of my “if they write it, I will read it�� authors. There is something so truly special and unique about her pros and voice that I find once I pick one of her books up, I cannot put it down. I love how she seamlessly weaves stories of realistic people with a touch of paranormal, folklore, and mystery. I find with Camilla’s works, not long after the first page, I am begging for more answers.

Our story starts with a bang when our two young protagonist’s parents pass away and their estranged aunt offers to take them in. It does not take long before things get weird�� and I mean WEIRD. We know from the start that something isn’t quite right with aunt Clara and our girls, Violet and Lily, are obviously special in a not so average way but things escalate to such a point that we realize both parties have their own plans of how this play out and neither are sharing their whole truth.

I absolutely ate this up and I am so thankful to NetGalley, the publisher, and Camilla Bruce for providing me an advance copy of this bewitching story. This was an absolute 5 star read for me.
