The Girls Are Never Gone
a girl does a summer internship with the historical society cleaning up an old estate where a girl died 30 years ago, so she can investigate it for her ghost-hunting podcast
she’s a skeptic who privately thinks she’ll be able to find evidence of non-supernatural, but weird things start happening to her and the other two girls in the house
spooky lake & creepy dolls
bisexual diabetic MC with a service dog, f/f
#The Girls Are Never Gone#sarah glenn marsh#this is. fine.#it’s like. not creepy until maybe 70% imo#why is she releasing episodes of her podcast every few days….even when she hasn’t discovered anything particularly?#is it not much more realistic for people to finish doing these things and form it into a coherent narrative before releasing episodes#Like that wouldn't have worked for the plot but it stood out to me#If it was one of those things where her personality and influencer-vibes is the main draw that would be feasable#but I didn't really get that feel from the two podcast excerpts we got.#Taking out some of the random stuff slowing the first half and putting bits of the podcast in the actual narrative so we got the feel for w#might have made things more interesting. And put more tension between her paranormal podcasting persona and real life skepticism#don't love stuff that engages with true crime fans without actively critiquing it. Like this doesn't get super deep into that. idk#I did laugh when they see the older lady putting salt around the door and question it & shes like 'it uh works for the boys on supernatural#ajshgfhajgf#anyway it was ok i just think it could have been better!#sapphic books#bisexual books#aroaessidhe 2023 reads
