The Half Life of Valery K by Natasha Pulley
5.0
dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Yes
This is now my favorite from Pulley so far and I wouldn't be surprised if it's in my top reads of the year. I was tense through the whole thing and the paranoia was palpable. It was like reading with an exposed nerve at times, made all better by the ending. It was also my first Pulley novel to not feature any kind of fantasy element - making it all the more unsettling that it wasn't necessarily all fiction either. Highly recommend.
