3.8 - I really enjoyed this one by Joe Hill. It made me cry and it made me feel so disgusted with Lee's flashbacks, and yet I just wanted to keep reading this to see what Ig was going to go through next. 
This book was honestly pure chaos for Ig but I really enjoyed this depiction of Satan and using Ig to depict him. I think one of my favorite moments in this book was with Dale and the following chapter. 
My only complaint that drops this from the 4 stars I was going to give this was the ending. It just felt a little odd and out of place to the rest of the story. Although I do rather enjoy Terry getting some type of happiness (possibly) to come after the events of that night and everything else. This book really just made me want to hug my partner tight, keep them close and I think that's my favorite part of this story. 
TWs for: rape, manipulation, alcohol use, binge drinking, murder, and animal abuse

In Horns, Joe Hill does an excellent job making you feel the anger a despair of the protagonist, while setting you up to root for the devil, himself.
