Old Wounds by Logan-Ashley Kisner

5.0

I loved this book. If a monster only attacks girls, what will happen when it comes across two trans teens. Erin is a confident trans girl who was mostly supported through her transitioning, while Max is a trans boy who is forced to deny himself. They run away towards California, but come across all kinds of evil in rural America. This book reads like a classic horror movie, from the set up to meeting the backwoods folks who may be more than they appear, to the gratuitous blood and gore. This is not an easy book to read. There is a lot of violence and anti trans hate, but it does put a blinding spotlight on the reality of the trans experience. This was an engrossing read, pulling you in as Erin and Max fight to survive.
