Dagger Hill by Devon Taylor
5.0

(Read as part of the Eliot Rosewater nominee reading list challenge.)

DANG this book is just great. Every part of it is just absolutely captivating, the supernatural horror and the characters’ journeys and the teenage emotions all just dragging you in, and an ending so gripping I couldn’t put the book down until it was over. For a story with so many twists, it progressed so naturally and all made so much sense when it came together. The only thing that could’ve improved it was an even longer epilogue, finding out what happened to every one of the characters involved, a little more detail on how they continued through 1990, especially the kids’ parents, some of whom’s fates were left quite vague. But again, that’s not a problem with the story per se, it’s just me wishing for MORE story. THAT’S HOW GOOD THE EXISTING STORY IS. As someone looking to get more into horror books, this was a perfect jumping-off point as well. Completely amazing.

Also, gay.
