Book Review: White Fox by Sara Faring

Hey friends!

Have you ever read a book with a location you could just get lost in? I'm so big on gothic vibes, so any books with big creepy houses or woods just get me. With autumn rolling in, it's the perfect time for a book like that, so I'm happy to recommend this one to you! As a member of the #FaringSociety street team, I've been hyping up White Fox by Sara Faring for months on Insta. I received an ARC of the book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review, and recently read it. It's totally worth it. It's coming out in just one week, on September 22nd, but you can add it to your Goodreads shelf now.

Summary

It's been 10 years since Manon and Thaïs's movie star mother has disappeared and they have been sent to New York City. When they return to their childhood manor on a Mediterranean island rich in culture, they find her final script--known to be key to her disappearance. Without their parents, though, who can they trust?

Review

The atmosphere in this book is impeccable. You want to talk eerie? Faring has it on lock. As I was reading, it was hard not to get sucked into the wild woods, the worn-down mansion, and the secretive island elite. 

While the book is great for the creepy feelings, it is, at its core, a story about family, especially sisters. The relationship between Manon and Thaïs has its ups and downs, but it is so realistic. When you're a teenager, every little thing is your whole world. When you're fighting with your sibling, it may be over something small, but it's your whole world. In contrast, on good days, you're the best of friends. I thought Faring captured this really well. I especially liked how Faring showed the difference in personalities of Manon and Thaïs.

The suspense in this book was very well done. I will say, at times, there were lulls in the action, but that just kept me even more on the edge of my seat during suspenseful moments. 

I would recommend this book for fans of Marisha Pessl, modern celebrity culture, and suspenseful books. It's definitely appropriate for both teens and adults.

I rate this book 4 stars!
