~*The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware*~
4.50 out of 5 stars
Thank you to Netgalley and Gallery/Scout Press
Ruth Ware is really great at telling modern Gothic stories and this book is no exception. One day Rowan comes across an ad looking for a nanny to take care of three little girls in an estate in the Scottish highlands.
Rowan is confidant in her child care abilities but she ends up becoming overwhelmed as she is left alone in the middle of nowhere with three children, one of them being a bit hard to deal with.
As the days go on things begin to get stranger and stranger with creaking sounds upstairs, alarms going off and doorbells ringing in the middle of the night.
I don't want to go into too much detail about the actual plot because I don't want to give away spoilers. The novel has a very Gothic, creepy vibe and you find yourself worrying for Rowan a lot.
The only reason I didn't give this a full five stars is because of the ending leaves you hanging a little bit.
