The Final Child by Fran Dorricott
5.0
rep: lesbian m/c's, f/f romance
content warnings: death, child abduction, child abuse, violence, alcoholism
I'm a huge fan of Fran Dorricott's work since reading her first novel After the Eclipse, and I've been in such a huge reading slump pretty much all year, so I thought I would try and jump back into reading with a book I thought would be a guaranteed hit, and I was so right. The Final Child follows Harriet, who longs to finish her book into the disappearances of the children kidnapped by The Father, and Erin, one of The Father's victims - a survivor. The book follows the two as they delve into the mystery of who The Father is, and things start to get dangerous for the two. Like After the Eclipse, The Final Child was an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Both books are slow, and character-driven novels, which works brilliantly and Dorricott is very talented at creating a tense and dark atmosphere. Highly recommend.
