The author kindly gifted me an ARC through NetGalley

Fair to say that this book creeped me out hahahaha
I don't read scary stuff often (I used to as a teenager but hardly ever do nowadays, note to self to read more from now on) as I get scared quickly.
So much so that I honestly couldn't read this before going to sleep. Hence why it took me a while to finish the book.

There were plenty twists and turns that I did not see coming. All in all I'd say it is a great thriller debut, but since this is not my go to genre, people who read thrillers all the time might have a better informed opinion than me.

Pretty Little Thing is the story of Beckett Ryan and her journey back to her small home town to bury her parents. While there, she runs into a mysterious woman who claims she is her best friend from childhood….but Beckett has no idea who this person is.

This book has suspense, plot twists and turns and kept me reading long after I should have gone to sleep. I loved getting to know each character as the story progressed. The character development is top notch. I loved some characters, hated some and wasn’t sure how I felt about others. That is one of the things I look for in a thriller - characters that are complicated enough that you aren’t sure how to feel about them, “Do I like them? Do I hate them? Should I hate them?” I particularly enjoyed the character of Naomi and would love to see Kit write another book with her as the main character. She really needs a book of her own and to tell her story. I felt there was so much more to her.

Kit created a compelling atmosphere in which I became fully immersed. I swear I could see and smell the town, its buildings and even its inhabitants. Despite the tense scenes in Beckett’s childhood home, I want to visit that house in real life and could see each room as if I was standing in it.

This is a great story that I cannot recommend enough. A full 5 out 5 stars - read this one, you wont regret it.
