About the Author
Kat Ellis lives in North Wales with her husband and their two cats. When she isn’t writing, she spends her time watching every horror movie under the sun and exploring the picturesque views and creepy ruins of the Welsh countryside.
Wicked Little Deeds is the perfect book to read now if you already want Summer to be over and Autumn to arrive!
So where to start?
Wicked Little Deeds is set in the small town of Burden Falls, and with such small communities everybody knows one another which leads to long time grudges, knowing everyone’s business and weird superstitions and supernatural occurrences!
Thus, we have Ava Thorn. A notable member of the Thorn family who have been around for centuries in their big Manor and being by Burden Falls waterfall, where many a story has happened with a certain creepy figure being at the heart of it.
Dead Eyed Sadie, a ghost who only shows when the Thorns are about to die, who showed when Ava’s parents died and someone seems to be copying her death with the murders of local kids, and soon Ava is suspected to be the murderer.
Reading the story feels like balancing on a wire, making the reader doubt whether the deaths, and all the events have a reasonable explanation or could it be supernatural?
It is such a slow, and intense plot driven story that will keep you guessing on who is the culprit, and I absolutely adored how Kat Ellis doesn’t need to develop the characters more than necessary to tell the story, allowing us to bask in the creepiness and the actions of the characters and how they’re deaths cause ripple effects throughout the community!
The other brilliant thing is that Ava ends up being friendly with one of her nemesis family- The Millers. These two families have always had bad blood, and always steer clear of each other yet we find their lives intertwining more and more as the plot goes on giving such an intriguing look into overcoming these initial grudges and creating something steady out of such tragedy!
If you love Harrow Lake, and are a fan of books that confuses the reader and the main character, leading to a slightly unstable narration, then I really recommend Wicked Little Deeds!
