I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my review itself.
Paying homage to Rebecca, Ruby Falls is narrated by Eleanor Russell, a fired former soap opera actress whose father left her in an underground cave and completely disappeared when she was six, and who now has married a man she barely knows and is starring in a remake of the movie version of Rebecca.
If this sounds like a lot, it is. If this sounds strange, it is. But somehow Goodrich Royce makes it work. The first few chapters did leave me confused and unsure if I wanted to continue reading. I am glad I kept going. It's an intense read, that becomes masterfully creepy at times, and is absolutely fascinating. The ending left me stunned, but fit when I looked back at everything I had previously read.
If this sounds interesting to you, I would definitely give this book a chance. Give it a couple chapters before you decide how you feel. I don't think this is a book everyone will like, but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down.
