Wow, am I a horror reader now?? š± Nat Cassidy, I am new to your game, you are serving sir!
Damn, this book had me genuinely terrified at certain points. You ever stop what your doing cause you think you hear something suddenly and all your senses stand on edge, that was me majority of this book! š āWhen the Wolf Comes Homeā is a fantastic horror story, this isnāt a genre I delve into often but Iām so glad I did. It felt like a movie, an actual good horror! It had twists and turns, that constant feeling of waiting for the shoe to drop cause you know something awful is going to happen.
I also love how deep this book is about fathers and fatherhood/parent hood. Honestly, it makes me want to give my parents a thank you for doing the best they can. It also makes me want to forgive myself for times I felt like I wasnāt the perfect daughter. Itās so tough meeting an expectation that you donāt really understand or get but you know it makes others angry or frustrated. In all, itās all complicated and sometimes doesnāt make sense no matter how much effort is put into it. Definitely check this one out if you can!
Also, please check the triggers & thank you Nat for your fantastic blurb about content warnings! As a newbie to horror, it really prepared me!
