Review: I really enjoyed The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware and went back and forth over giving it a 4 or a 5. It was a solid book but didn't wow me. (Plus, a book has to be really special for me to give it a five-star review.) In the end, I gave it a 4/5 because it wasn't quite as spooky as I was hoping and the ending changed the whole feeling of the book in not a good way. (I don't want to spoil anything so I won't elaborate on that, but if you do read it I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about.) The Turn of the Key is a good October read, especially if you want to be a little scared but not too scared. I'd definitely recommend it.
