My Rating System:
Enjoyment: I loved it, had fun, sobbed like a baby, never found myself wanting to dnf - 5
More?: I will absolutely read more from the author - 5
Criticism: some minor criticisms but nothing that would bring my rating down - 4
Rereadability: Not desperate to reread immediately but I likely will reread in the future- 4
Average: 4.5 Stars
When the Wolf Comes Home is reminiscent of all of my favourite horror classics in all the best ways. I think the synopsis is best left to the imagination when it comes to a book like this so I won't say too much but every chapter was wild and unexpected and exactly what I want going into a horror novel. It was brutal, fun, and sometimes hit a bit too close to home, making the reading experience the perfect emotional roller coaster (I love to cry). Nat Cassidy is quickly cementing himself as one of my favourites in the genre and I cannot wait to read more.
Big thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eArc of this book!
