Thank you to NetGalley and Fiewel & Friends for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review!
This is one of the best books I've read all year! A mix of disturbing fairy tale, creature feature, and psych horror, this was such a well-crafted story that kept me engaged and on edge the whole time! It was spooky, visceral, heart-wrenching - everything I could have asked for. C. G. Drews's macabre prose is exquisite, equal parts precise and imaginative, and it helps anchor us in the world of the story brilliantly. The twists were really well-plotted, and the world is so immersive.
Andrew and Thomas are disastrous in the best way, and the way their relationship is crafted is beautiful. Andrew is also some fantastic a-spec representation, and seeing how well he was written and handled was refreshing!!
I'm so incredibly excited for this book to come out. It will haunt me for some time to come, and I will absolutely be getting a copy!!
