This was a mildly interesting and surreal tale about the challenges of fame but unfortunately didn't make me care about the characters.

I hate writing bad reviews but surely the author knew that this one would harbor some bad reviews right? It’s like she just gave up halfway through. Way too many characters. Way too many false leads. Way too many PAGES! This book should’ve been about half as long. I almost didn’t finish it. I’m so sorry, I really wanted to love it.

Atmospheric and beautiful, I loved this book. The sisters were great and the story had me guessing. All of the details made this well worth a read. I’d definitely recommend.

I could not get into the story of this one and I read a few reviews that made me believe I would never get into the story. 

Unfortunately, this one was just not for me.

White Fox is a ghost story of two sisters trying to unlock secrets of their lost mother. Using her last work, "White Fox" to solve her mysterious disappearance they work together on this magical ghostly quest. It is quite a nerve shatterer as secrets are revealed. Sara Faring knows how to keeps one's attention.

White Fox is an unique and intriguing book! White Fox follows the mystery of two sisters return to their mysterious island home after the death of their father. Their famous mother mysteriously vanished ten years ago and the sisters find a lost script that they think will be the answer to her disappearance.  White Fox deals with mental issues and the relationship between sisters.  I found it to be a fine and compelling read.

The premise for this novel captured my attention the moment I read it. Unfortunately, I found the reveal to be a let down. Once I got to the reveal, the characters didn't continue to captivate me.

I'm mad at myself for not getting to this one earlier. It's such a great variation on the classic larger-than-life mother mysteriously disappears and leaves two very different daughters behind to live in her shadow and try to figure out what happened. So many secrets and revelations to go along with solid character development and interactions as Manon and Thaïs realize things about themselves and each other while following the clues their famous mother may have left behind.
I found the plot familiar, but layered and varied enough to still catch my interest and keep me in the story. Reading what it's about might make you think that this may not be the most original plot, but Faring does a fantastic job of revealing details and their connections in such a way that it still feels fresh. 

Happy thanks to NetGalley and Imprint for the review copy!

I read about 15% of this book, but I struggled with the story set up. This book did not suck me in and make me want to keep reading, so I decided to stop. I love the story idea and was excited to read it, but this ended up not being the book for me.

Eerie and magical and spooky. I loved it and found myself swept up in the dark, fantastical world that Faring created.

The description of the book had me excited and I love a good literary mystery, but this one was just okay.   It was fine, but not something I'll remember the next day.

The premise for this is definitely very intriguing and it took me a while to read - audio book after publication date. 
The audio book gives you a much better feel of this book and the authors descriptions and just the whole vibe of the book was very atmospheric and usually right up my alley but I just kept putting this one down and forgetting to pick it back up.

This book is incredible! It creates an atmosphere throughout and I couldn't put it down. Sara is a fantastic writer and I can't wait to read more from her!

This was my first book by Sara Faring and I found her writing style very pleasant. I had no problem connecting to the characters or visualizing the story as it took place, this alone makes it a 5 star read for me. Then you add in the plot surrounded in mystery and intrigue and get an additional star! Sara has now made it onto my auto buy list!

This was a really weird story. It kept jumping around between timelines, characters and plots and I struggled to find the red thread connecting the whole thing. The characters were not very plastic, closer to cardboard cutouts than actual people. I had no idea who they were and what their personalities were like apart from a couple superficial traits mentioned. And the story did not really come to a conclusion that felt satisfying. Sadly, I was very disappointed.

This is one of my favorite books. Sara Faring is an amazing writer. I was captivated till the very end.

Slow paced to unravel the story which I understand that is the goal of a mystery novel but this was turtle paced. The twin sisters had very little personality that differed from each other. Having younger sisters who are twins from experience i can tell you they have such vastly different personalities. 
This isn't a bad novel but it just wasn`t for me. I wasn`t invested in anyone.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a free e-ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Last week, my family and I spent Spring Break in a cabin in the middle of the woods. Being who I am, I brought a stack of books with me. You never know what mood I’ll be in, after all! I ended up picking up White Fox, figuring that a cabin surrounded by trees would be the perfect atmosphere for a thriller featuring a creepy forest. And I was totally correct!

We follow Manon and Tai, two sisters who are both dealing with the loss of their mother ten years ago in very different ways. Tai lives her life online and is constantly compared to her famous mother, who was an actress. Manon, on the other hand, tries to live her life as far from the limelight as possible, preferring the company of her precious notebook to other people. When they are invited back to the island where they used to live before their mother’s disappearance, they both choose to go for different reasons. Once there, however, they discover the lost script that their mother was working on and was thought to have disappeared with her. Rumors say that this script holds clues that might solve the mystery of what happened ten years ago, so the two sisters decide that they’re going to follow the trail, whatever the cost.

Y’all, the atmosphere and dark tone of this book was I M M A C U L A T E. By far my favorite aspect of this book, hands down! The creepiness of the forest surrounding the family home, the creepiness of the old family home itself, and just the overall feeling of danger made this such a thrilling read. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the story, even when not much was going on. Sara Faring is fantastic at building that necessary tension that takes a thriller/mystery from good to great! I will say that I thought the ending wrapped up a little too neatly. I could have done without the epilogue, as well, but I still enjoyed it!

I think Sara Faring did an excellent job creating her characters, as well. Both Manon and Tai are such complex characters with a lot of depth. Manon seems to suffer from anxiety and, though I can’t speak to the representation, I certainly felt her anxiety as the story continued. The way she describes how she’s feeling and how everything that is happening is impacting her felt so visceral and real! Tai had her own set of issues that kind of sneak up on you, which makes sense as she’s usually presenting a different version of herself to the world. I’m so happy that we get to see inside both of their heads because it just makes the story that much better.

Also, I kind of love the fact that the White Fox script and various articles are included in the book! I do love a bit of mixed media. Does that count as mixed media? I’m gonna say it is, lol.

Final thoughts: This is a taut, atmospheric, gem of a thriller! I was on the edge of my seat from page one and tore through this book. I loved the characters and all their layers that made them leap off the page. And I enjoyed the multiple POVs and the sprinkle of mixed media. If you like your thrillers to be a little dark with complex characters and a beautifully creepy atmosphere, I think you would enjoy White Fox!

I have tried reading this on multiple occasions yet I just can't connect with it.  I suspect due to it being a Teen/ YA title.  It does have a beautiful, stunning cover however and will certainly appeal to many.

Sisters Manon and Thais finally go back to their birthplace for their estranged father's funeral, only to find that their father left them a mysterious note- their mother who has been missing and assumed dead for the ten years the girls were exiled may still be alive. The sisters end up on a dangerous and dark scavenger hunt to find their mother, using clues from their mother's last unfinished script to get to the truth.

Ok, this review will be kinda short because I don't know what to say about this story, I was pretty confused while reading the book and now that I am finished I am still moderately confused as to what all happened in the story. This was very much a mystery, but at times I could not tell what was real and what was imaginary, transitions between scenes/thoughts seemed to not exist, what was present and what was past was mashed up...I am not even sure I could tell you all about what I read, but I will admit that I was interested in the outcome and pushed through my confusion to keep going. I can also say that this was 100% unique.

Side note, this is classified as a YA story and the two main characters are 17 and 18 years old, but nothing about them or who they are treated was YA. They were independent characters with basically no supervision, drinking and clubbing and going about their business as if they were adults. So if you are looking for a realistic representation of teens, this is not the correct place for that.
