All the Dead Lie Down by Kyrie McCauley
5.0
I am typically not one for horror based books but I LOVED this one. I started just before I went to bed and I had to make myself go to bed to finish it when I woke up. There are so many different little events that pop up throughout the book that truly surprised me.
Marin accepts an offer to look over 2 children after her own mother passed in exchange for room and board. The children's mother, Alice, had known Marin's mother when they were younger and Marin needed a place to live. Alice was also a well known author and she needed the children taken care of so she could focus on her novels. Marin accepts as she is a teenager herself with little to no money. The girls try to scare Marin by pranking her by doing creepy things in efforts to get her to leave. Eventually their older sister, the same age as Marin, Evie returns. Instead of making her leave their mom insists that she stays and share the responsibility with Evie and to help Evie with her studies. As Marin adjusts to life at Lovelace her anxiety bolsters with each passing day as curious events occur. From dead birds in her room to mutilated animals in the woods, things are off about Lovelace House and it's residents.
Grief is a huge theme in this book as both Marin and the girls had recently lost someone.
I received an arc copy through Netgalley from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
