The Changeling is the kind of book that crawls under your skin and stays there. Blending horror, fantasy, and raw emotional truth, it follows new father Apollo ’s journey that's terrifying, moving, and at times relatable.
The writing is magic: sharp, immersive, and packed with surprises. A mix of eerie folklore and real, messy humanity. LaValle’s New York feels alive, and Apollo’s love fueled odyssey will wreck you in the best way. Equal parts chilling and tender, a masterpiece of storytelling.

Until the last quarter of the book this would have been a 3 or 3.5, but the ending was wild in the best way. I think this book would have been better if it was 75 pages shorter, but otherwise it’s excellent.
