Author: Kelly Creagh
Ch: 41
Pg:400
Genre: Gothic retelling
Rating: 5 stars
Publisher: Penguin Young Readers
I love Kelly Creagh’s gothic
retellings and Strange Earthly Things is no different. It’s a
Jane Eyre retelling with a twist. Jane Reye and Giovani and Ingrid are invited
to Fairfax Hall because of their paranormal abilities. It’s there that the meet
Elias Thornfield in which there is more than meets the eye.
The book starts out slow but quickly
picks up once Jane and the reader get to Fairfax Hall and you just want to keep
reading because you just have to know what happens. There’s quite a few pop
culture Easter eggs sprinkles throughout out.
And as a reader who wasn’t a huge fan
of Jane Eyre (never cared for the ending). I loved this retelling, twist and
ending. This is the perfect gothic read to curl up with a hot cup of cider in
the fall or really any time of the year.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through
netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions
expressed are mine alone.
