I want to give a huge thank you to the author for providing me with an ARC to read and review!!!
The urban legend of "Crybaby Bridge" is pretty common. There is one of these said bridges about 20 minutes from where I live. This novella is a unique retelling of this local legend told from various POVs.
I was at first apprehensive reading this as it is told through a collection of interviews and first-hand accounts, which isn't usually my cup of tea. The author made it work, and as I was reading, I got lost in the story, and it felt like watching a slasher movie.
It is a slasher story which, again, is difficult to do in a book form. The author did an excellent job of conveying the suspense and action on the pages of this novella.
I really liked this novella, and I give it a 4.75⭐️ rating rounding up to 5 where applicable. Definitely check this one out!!!
