Critics Review
Praise for The Sight:
“Shattering … A fairy tale–tinged thriller.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“[Golding] hits her stride in this unsettling thriller … A memorable and moving trip into the paranormal.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Just scary enough to please hardcore horror fans yet written so well that it deserves to be seen as fine literary fiction.”
—The Book Reporter
“Melanie Golding is brilliant, and each book is even better than the last! The Sight is a tense, twisty suspense novel full of painful family drama, delicious dread, circus hijinks, and suspicious deaths. I loved it!”
—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of All Hallows and Road of Bones
“A deftly plotted slow-burn mystery set against the backdrop of a struggling circus, The Sight is full of surprising heart, with an imperfect heroine you can’t help but root for. I have been hooked on Golding’s writing since Little Darlings, and The Sight has only solidified what I already know—Melanie Golding is a force.”
—Katrina Monroe, author of Graveyard of Lost Children
“Mel Golding’s latest novel, The Sight, is a gripping, well written suspense, set in a carnival. Well-plotted, with characters that will stay with you and a clever twist at the end, this is one of those books you won’t want to put down.”
—Sarah Edghill, author of His Other Woman
“In The Sight, Melanie Golding deftly conjures up the entrancing world of a travelling circus, and then takes us backstage to see its secrets, family rivalries, and Faith: an intrepid trapeze artist with the ‘gift’ of second sight. Like a fairground ride, this story spins us round with different versions of the truth and a dizzying sense of terror. A captivating tale, which will tantalise you until the very last page.”
—Jane Bailey, author of Sorry Isn’t Good Enough
Praise for Melanie Golding:
“Golding beautifully blends the supernatural with the everyday, keeping readers riveted to the page as they question what is true.”
—Booklist, starred review
“Melanie Golding turns fairy tales on their heads.”
—Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me
“Golding is a terrific talent who sweeps you off your feet and carries you away on her words. I can’t wait to read more from her. I loved this.”
—C. J. Skuse, author of the Sweetpea mystery series
