A mountain soaked in blood is fractured by the wrongness of an unnatural act, two sisters sit on either side of the spreading chasm. One waiting to be consumed by the gnawing void, the other seeking vengeance, both tied together by a burgeoning darkness.
A strange, prophetic, winding path through generational trauma, poverty, and the weight of settling into your own skin. This debut novel presents a unique and metaphysical thriller that will keep you on the edge of unreality.
There is a lot I appreciated about this novel, it held my attention throughout with ease, I finished it in just a couple hours, the mountains perspective an intermittent nature writing was a delight, and the strangeness of it all was captivating.
