"Blind Barriers" by Sophie Davis is a dark and mysterious tale. Starting with a short plea for help by Lark, a missing young girl who now apparently is in an unspecified place, maybe captivity or limbo, we just don't know.Intrigued and puzzled we are left with our wondering about Lark while the author introduces Raven, another young girl who has newly arrived in Washington D.C. and is subletting an apartment in the city. While Raven makes new friends and acquaintances she is tempted by a diary she finds in the flat.In a new narrative we now learn about the missing girl Lark and her life before she disappears.This is the first volume or part of the series and leaves much open for the second instalment.Davis has managed to subtly build up huge suspense that runs through every page and makes us want to find out more about Lark and why she disappeared.My mind went into overdrive where the story will be going, examining every character as suspect, but I feel that there is much more to come and this is just the tip of the iceberg.Much of the book is setting up the characters and their lives which will allow for the plot to take many possible directions.I am left intrigued and wanting more. An excellent start to the series.
