bamamelereads 's review for:
Tidepool
by Nicole Willson
First, thanks to Parliament House Press for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
If ye give not willingly, the Lords will rise…
More like, Abandon hope all ye who enter here!
Wow, I normally don't read horror (I'm a big scaredy-cat), but this story really sucks you in and takes you on a terrifying ride that doesn't stop until the last page. I actually had to look up Lovecraftian, but this story is the definition of Lovecraftian horror. We're pulled along as Sorrow attempts to figure out what happened to her brother. There's the frustrating gaslighting the town does to convince her he just went elsewhere (though we know he didn't). Then as the truth/horrors reveal themselves to her, the men that should be helping her don't believe her and keep her trapped in the town.
This was atmospheric and claustrophobic and gruesome. I really liked Quentin and wish we could have seen more of him/had him take a bigger role. I didn't love Charlie (but I'm not sure I was supposed to).
Definitely check it out if you're a fan of the genre (and even if you're not!).
