This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno
4.0

Wowoweewow. Okay. First-- I loved how this was written in a 2nd person POV, in a way where Thiago was narrating to his beloved, dead wife. It gave the whole narration a more intimate feel, with the grief at the loss of his wife being so incredibly palpable. Admittedly, even after reading the blurb on the back of the book, I didn't expect it in any way to go the direction it went. But in no such terms did this story disappoint. From start to finish, I felt as if the book was unraveling, becoming increasingly more wicked and eerie and creepy. Honestly, I'm still not sure what to make of the ending, of what exactly this entity was that followed Thiago. The ending left me scratching my head, but in no way was it unsatisfying; I'd love to read others' interpretations and conclusions that they've made. This book was unlike anything I've read before, unexpected, and I hope to read more from this author!
