They Drown Our Daughters

 

I loved They Drown Our Daughters by Katrina Monroe.  It is a character driven story with gothic vibes and hints a ghost story. This is the story of multiple generations with the setting of an ocean which provides cohesion to the story with an eerie twist, with an emphasis on the relationship between a mothers and daughters.  All of these are components that drew me into the story and the combination of lyrical prose and a psychologically intense story made it difficult for me to put this book down.  Katrina Monroe’s style is reminiscent of Wendy Webb and Jennifer McMahon.  Fans of gothic ghost stories will definitely want to pick this book up! Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced readers copy!
