A review by gabrielle_erin
Horrid by Katrina Leno

3.0

3.5 stars. I really enjoyed the atmosphere Leno created in this book, it was a perfect mix of suspense and release. I did, however, think the twist was extremely predictable but it was still well executed. The ending was INFURIATING but only because I hate having questions left unanswered. The final chapter had me on the edge of my seat - it was so fast paced and spooky, so much fun to read! I also really liked the literary allusions made throughout (a lot of connections to Atwood's Spotty Handed Villainesses) and the discussion of anger management from a teenage girl's perspective was really interesting and something that is not touched upon enough in YA. Really enjoyable spooky season book.
