dark
mysterious
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
Do not underestimate the impact of the horror this book can impart based on its size. A collection of people all falling under the spell of a mysterious man in small town CT, with a side story of horrible homophobia and related crimes. Surprisingly a happy ending, but wow is there a lot to unpack here. I really loved it, you just have to experience it yourself.
