Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this title. Unfortunately, I was not able to finish this book which means I will not be able to review it. I truly appreciate the opportunity and apologize for the inconvenience the lack of review may cause you.

A light mystery surrounding two very different families struggling to connect (or reconnect) after death of a loved one. I loved the family connections and the coming of age aspects as you see each character grow after a family death while dealing with the mystery of Appelcote Manor.

If you read only one book this year this is the one.
It has all the ingredients of a fabulous summer read.
Fans of Kate Morton and Rachel Hore will love this book.
In 1959 four sisters go to stay with their aunt and uncle at Applecote Manor for the summer holidays whilst their mother goes away to work.
The manor holds a secret that involves the disappearance of their cousin five years before.
Fifty years later due to the aunt going into a nursing home the house is sold to a family from London.
Jesse the wife of widower Will feels this house will unite her family and wipe out the sad memories of the past that effect her husband and his teenage daughter.
Little does she realise how the past will impact their lives.
Amazing book, fantastic read, a real page turner.
Five stars all the way.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read. I enjoy these history to present day dramas. Extremely well written. I will be ordering this title for the library's collection.

Loved how the story started off with a bang, it just sucks you right in! There was some parts that slowed down for me, but overall I enjoyed the different twists and turns in the story. It kept me interested, and I will definitely check out her other books.

The Wildling Sisters is a lyrical, dreamy, and tension filled journey spanning the past and present and the wonderful, terrible, and fraught moments that sisters share.
Eve Chase seamlessly moves between 1959 and the present. In 1959 the four Wilde sisters are learning how to navigate life at Aplecote Manor after the disappearance of their cousin, Audrey. In the present, Jessie is trying to build a life with her husband and daughters in the looming shadow of his dead wife. Everything comes to a head for her family when they buy Aplecote Manor.
The weaving of past and present in Aplecote Manor, the threads that bind families together, and the magic of sisters make this a slightly spooky and completely wonderful story.

This is a dual time story from the 1950s and present day - in the 50s the four Wilde sisters are at Applecote Manor the family home belonging to their aunt and uncle - where they haven't been to stay for five years since the disappearance of their cousin Audrey. This part of the story is told by Margot the sister that was closest to Audrey and also looks most like her. Audrey's mother however gets a bit obsessed with Margot and wants her to wear the clothes that should have been Audrey's but to everyone else Audrey's name is not mentioned and her bedroom is kept as a shrine. The mystery of what happened to her is continued through the book as no body was found and no-one knows if she is alive or dead. As the summer progresses and they meet two boys the rivalries between the sisters start to come out but can they get back the closeness they once had and pull together when they need to?

In the present time Jesse wants to move out of London with her husband and stepdaughter - she is currently living in what was the marital home of her husband and former wife who died and she feels that everything there is perfect and her stepdaughter Bella is constantly throwing in her face how wonderful her mother was and that her father doesn't love Jesse like he did her mother. When she sees Applecote Manor she falls in love although it is dilapidated and needs load of work doing to it - is she doing the right thing by buying it though especially when her husband has to go back to London so much to work and she is left alone with Bella and the ghosts of the past........and who is the woman with the dogs that she keeps getting glimpses of?

A great atmospheric story which works well between the two timelines and although I did get a bit bogged down in one part it is worth persevering with

This is a well crafted gothic novel. After reading Eve Chase's Black Rabbit Hall which I adored , i was excited to get my hands on her latest. Set in two timelines this is an enthralling read. Story grabs you page one and won't let go. Loved it

Much Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin/Putnam for allowing me to read and review this book. Here is my honest opinion. The style of writing the author uses is one of those styles that you either get it very right or very wrong...and I believe this one was Right on.
The Wilde sisters is a nostalgic story and how sisters bond, communicate, drift and connect.

This book combines two of my favorite types of books - books that go back and forth between two time periods, and gothic novels set in English country houses. In the 1950s, four sisters moved in with their aunt and uncle to Applegate Manor, where their cousin had gone missing 5 years before, and in the present day, a family from London moves to the same house. Great characters, great sense of suspense, and good surprises that were nonetheless believable. Eve Chase's first book was one of my 10 favorites last year, so I was very excited to get an early copy of this one from Netgalley. Highly recommend both of her books, especially to fans of Kate Morton as she is very much in the same genre. 4.5 stars.

Delightful! The mood captured perfectly allows for a story of four sisters to surround the reader. Linking past and present this tale is haunting.

3 1/2 Stars

Chase has a very nice writing style and does a great job of weaving two timelines together seamlessly. The storyline from the past was much more intriguing than that of the present leaving the reader wondering if the present story was even necessary. The story does grab you from the start, but then slows considerably until it reaches the halfway mark. From that point forward it is a fast paced mystery with some nice twists and turns and a satisfying ending.

Much Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin/Putnam for allowing me to read and review this book. Here is my honest opinion.

First off, let me say the Dual Time Line, past and present, is such a hard writing style to pull off. If not written correctly you can lose your readers interest, and make it very difficult to follow. Wish this book, The Author, Eve Chase did a remarkable job pulling it off.

Next I want to say, the opening pages, are enticing, and they really grab your attention, and they are rather chilling. The pace of that does slow down some, but picks back up about halfway through the book. So, if you find yourself getting a bit bored, Keep on trucking on. I thought this book was incredibly written, and I really enjoyed the entire book, and the writing style. The characters are portrayed well, and are likable as well.

This is my first book by Eve Chase, I had never really heard of her before, but the cover, and the title just really caught my attention, So I had to request this book. I'm sure glad that I did.

I completely enjoyed this book from start to finish. It wove together beautifully and the descriptions were lovely.

Brilliant book. Excellent main characters and plot. I would recommend this book.

I was utterly immersed in this book, the girls from the summer of 1959 totally grabbed me with their story which flowed into a current families story. Captivating reading.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group - Putnam for the ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review of the book.

Even though I've rated it 3 stars on Goodreads this is more of a 3.5 star book. This book grabs you on page one with a pretty intense scene unfortunately that intensity doesn't last through the entire book and about halfway there it gets a little monotonous to read. This is somewhat understandable because the the story is very complex but it still takes away from what was a great book. The story is told in 2 perspectives: past and present but it's the past perspective that really dominates this book. In fact if you cut out the present parts I probably would have rated this story more stars. Eve Chase is a very good writer, there were a few times in the book I had to reread a sentence or passage to understand what she meant but I can't tell if that's because this was an uncorrected digital proof and the spacing was bad or if it was the way the sentence was written.

I'd probably read this book again and I'd probably recommend it to a friend with the warning that you may need to make a little extra effort mid-book to complete it but if you do you're rewarded with a nice ending.

An interesting book about 3 sisters and their relationships with each other and their other friends and family members. Each sister has something interesting to "tell" and the dynamics between them make for a good read.

I very much enjoyed Eve Chase's previous novel, Black Rabbit Hall , so I was looking forward the author's next book. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much.

This story opens with a bang! And then slows down greatly. I had a very difficult time engaging in the story until about the halfway mark when things started to pick up.

I believe the dual time narration (one of my favorites!) didn't work for this book. The past story was much more engaging and relevant and interesting than the one told in the present. In fact, I feel that the present story wasn't needed at all!

I enjoyed the mystery which had a few twists and turns, however story this felt a bit more character driven. It discusses family dynamics and relationships, especially with step-families and siblings.

I would give this one 3.5 stars. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What a brilliant, brilliant book. With a plot that twists and turns throughout and characters you feel that you get to know personally = this book I truly superb. I cannot recommend this book enough.
