@EverAfterPrint was kind enough to send me a review copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
Hog Creek is a town where something strange is going on. Early on in the book we find out that there’s a creature with absurdly long limbs, and thrice as many of them, just walks to a river and disappears. Things become strange when people suddenly go missing.
The book has a mystery vibe because we slowly get pieces of information, making us start with a lot of questions in the beginning. We see everything through Grayson’s eyes and slowly get more information about what his life is like. There’s also some LGBTQ+ romance in the book but it’s slow paced. Not much happens romance wise until the middle of the book.
The book felt a bit slow in the beginning because it took me a little while to figure out what the plot exactly was about. That quickly changed once Shelby was introduced. She gave the book a nice pace by pulling Grayson out of his comfort zone.
The book contains beautiful illustrations by Renée Zonneveld.
Warning: this book contains heavy topics such as bullying, abuse and homophobia.
