ajlatrobe 's review for:
The Summer I Died
by Ryan C. Thomas
I am.... Disgusted. Terrified. Nauseous. Traumatized. But also like.... really satisfied??
This book is torture porn. And there was a point in the middle when I worried that this book might end up being all gore and no plot, and that maybe I had made a mistake in reading it. Like maybe it wasn't worth my time to be punishing myself with the violence? But let me spoil it for you... it was absolutely worth it. I became so invested in these characters and their fight for survival. (I might have even cried over a character that was only on 2 or 3 pages.) This book was so dark and depraved and disgusting, but also I didn't want to put it down. This is the kind of horror that absolutely terrifies me. This is the kind of shit that keeps me up at night and haunts me.
This is one of those books that maybe I shouldn't advertise on the internet that I really enjoyed reading.... Yet here I am posting my 5 star review on Goodreads. And I'll most likely follow it up with a fun wholesome middle grade adventure or something. You know, balance.
