Wow. This book was amazing. I couldn’t put it down! I found it browsing on this app, looking for a new read…I’m so glad it was recommended for me. I won’t give away anything. All I’ll say is that you have to read it. It’s a quick read and the story moves fast. I wanted it to last longer, but it was so worth it. The writing was excellent and the characters really steal your heart. The book is emotional and intense. It’s something I can’t recommend enough. I really hope to see a sequel. I need more from Maryse. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I thought this was well-written and had important themes....but it was a stretch for me in terms of the horror and gore.

Not what I was expecting, but a powerful story. I suppose I should have realized that a Hugo/Nebula award winning writer’s book would include some element of fantasy, but I think I added this without paying attention to that element. Still, if you enjoyed ‘Lovecraft Country’ you’re going to love this book.
