Gretchen by Shannon Kirk
5.0
So, I started this book at 7 pm yesterday. I live in rural MN, with no close neighbors. I wasn't creeped out by the particularly dark night, nor the wind or insect noises coming through my open window. The coyote howls from the river at the edge of our property, however . . .
After a nice, sleepless night (I imagine the bags under my eyes rival Gretchen's), I can declare this the creepiest thriller I've read in a long time. You'll get 3/4 of the way through and think everything's wrapping up nicely. Then, you'll look at the page number and think, "Huh. The book still has 75 pages left. That's an awful long epilogue." And then, my dear fellow readers, you'll be taken on the wildest roller coaster of wtf this genre has to offer. Enjoy.
