A Light Most Hateful by Hailey Piper
2.5
*I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
Hailey Piper has been an author on my radar for ages and I read and enjoyed her dark fantasy No Gods for Drowning in 2022, so I was excited to check out this offering from her. Unfortunately, it never fully came together for me.
For one, the first half of this book didn't really feel like it was going anywhere. There's a teen working at her small town drive in when all of a sudden monsters appear and then I sort of lost the plot until the 50% mark which then shifts the book into a completely different story. I like the concept and what Piper is trying to do here by creating a story about identity and creation, but the execution fell flat for me.
