Dwellers by Eliza Victoria

5.0

“...the world looks at us, points at me and says I eat like a monster. I did not create this body - it was given to me.”

Haunting, terrifying and admirably mind-boggling, Dwellers by Eliza Victoria will take you to the edge of your seat and will not allow you to do your chores until you finished the book. It was so good. I'm not kidding you. The fact that it was written by a Filipina author made me love this book more and be proud of it.

Basically, it was a paranormal mystery which was about two men who can take over another body. It also involved some car crash and a dead body, but it is more of that. Let's just say that it also tackled socio-political drama, making the book relevant to what is happening or has happened not just in this country but in the world.

Dwellers was a not-so long novel but the author masterfully accumulated, connected and twisted every aspect in this book that it didn't look like a mess but rather a very compelling story. In addition, the writing was so so engaging and engrossing. There are depths in the characters and they are unpredictable. The setting was appropriate and all. Basta, it was really really good. Haha. I'm running out of words.

I was engrossed, shocked, fascinated, creeped out by this book. Oh god.
