The Twisted Tree
The Twisted Tree | Rachel Burge
7 posts | 11 read | 37 to read
Part ghost story, part Nordic thriller - this is a twisty, tense and spooky YA debut, perfect for fans of CORALINE and Michelle Paver's DARK MATTER. Martha can tell things about a person just by touching their clothes, as if their emotions and memories have been absorbed into the material. It started the day she fell from the tree at her grandma's cabin and became blind in one eye. Determined to understand her strange ability, Martha sets off to visit her grandmother, Mormor - only to discover Mormor is dead, a peculiar boy is in her cabin and a terrifying creature is on the loose. Then the spinning wheel starts creaking, books move around and terror creeps in . . . Set in the remote snows of contemporary Norway, THE TWISTED TREE is a ghost story that twists and turns - and never takes you quite where you'd expect.

The jar has chosen. Anyone read this? It's weird jumping themes for me as I normally read based on the theme of the book lol so jumping from Peter Pan to this could be interesting. But this is my 4th book since doing the book jar so it's getting me out my slump.

This book is the story of a young girl who discovers that her family tree is far more unusual than she ever imagined, and what horrors and responsibilities come with that.
For me, it reads like an author's debut novel (I no idea if it is or not) where she had the crux of a great idea but not necessarily the detail to back it up. The characters lack depth, and everything feels too easy to resolve, but overall it wasn't bad. 3/5

When I started this book I didn‘t know what to expect. I‘ve never read a book that is Norse Mythology and mixed with ghosts and romance.
I enjoyed the book. It wasn‘t so heavy on the mythology that it was boring and the romance wasn‘t so in your face it was teenagerish. It had a mixture of all and was told well. I would not rush out for more by this author but if there was a sequel to this book I would read it to see how it is developed further.
