Brother felt like you combined the movies Wrong Turn and House of a Thousand Corpses. The Morrows were deeply unsettling. This story was disturbing, uncomfortable, and so heart-breaking. As a fan of horror and darker themes, I found myself shocked by how dark this book was several times throughout the story.
While reading, it felt like the beginning had been a bit slow to start. After finishing to book, I appreciate the time the author took to give us a deeper look into the characters and how they got to the events of the book. I would highly recommend this book!
