Burn Our Bodies Down by Rory Power

3.0

The beginning of this book and the end of this book are completely disjointed. Never would have expected the end to be what it was while I was slightly bored and annoyed with the main character throughout the majority of the beginning and middle. It felt like a contemporary mystery at first but then is a bit horrorish by the end without any real scare factor. I was not enjoying it but I would say that I liked it in the end. It does a great job of bringing up the experiences of generational trauma and I like how the characters actually had a moment to talk about it. Apparently Powers has another book that was more popular and has a similar horror/thriller/mystery vibe that I might check out. I might of liked this even more if I knew what I was getting into.
