"When I have moments like this, when the darkness suffocates me, I need to hold on to something more powerful than myself."
I cut my reading teeth on gothic stories and novels and still love them today. This First Impression for The Cherry Robbers grabbed me from the get go, as Sylvia is a very compelling narrator, dropping little clues and salacious hints as to a dark back story involving her sisters. I cringed along with her when she reads the letter from Eliza. As Walker goes back in time, Sylvia/Iris is still our narrator, pulling us into scenes of her with her five sisters, father and very unique mother, Belinda. Feelings of dread and fear permeate this First Impression and make me very excited (and anxious) to read more!
P.S. "Tap tap. 'Here she comes...Don't be afraid.'" was so good, so scary!!
