The Devil and Mrs. Davenport by Paulette Kennedy
5.0
dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

I am OBSESSED and pissed at myself for not reading this sooner. I can’t remember the last time a book had me hooked like this. The FMC grew on me and I very quickly was rooting for her. This book genuinely scared me because being a woman in the 1950s…. Was horrifying!!! 🫣 the writing was fantastic and I really appreciated the research that went into this, which is mentioned in the authors note. 

Genuinely everything I want in a horror book. Disturbing with social commentary/something to say. This book will be my new personality for the foreseeable future lol

Also the audiobook narrator did a fantastic job 🥰 now I need this author to write more books like this ASAP
