A review by felyn
Half-Made Girls by Sam Witt

4.0

This is one hell of a horror ride. The main character - I hesitate to call him the protagonist - is an alcoholic, supernatural Sheriff in the fictional Pitchfork County of Missouri. It's a county plagued by awful, terrible things and Joe's what stands between them and the good folks of the county. There's been lots of meth, plenty of well-described horror-type gore, and more alcohol than I'd care to describe.

It's very well-written, and the plot keeps making these subtle little twists and reveals that kept me reading. This isn't generally my kind of book, as I am more of a fan of cerebral, thriller-style horror. I had to stop and put Half-Made Girls down several times - this is very much a compliment! The fact that I kept coming back to it and had to finish it, and in fact have the next book on my Kindle right now, is a testament to Sam Witt's writing.
