This is a fast paced read that’s well written with some dark subject matter that’s sure to leave readers feeling uneasy.
Mixed with Romani & Jewish folklore, historical facts from WWll and a lot of creepiness this book packed a decent punch.
Taking place in present time as well as flashing back to the horrors of a concentration camp, Pattern does a fantastic job weaving past horrors with modern day consequences. I couldn’t stop myself from actually wanting to google more about Dr. Mengele after reading this and the horrible experiments he performed in those camps.
If you like a good, dark, horror read with some historical facts present you’ll definitely want to pick this book up!
