White Fox by Sara Faring
5.0
5/5 Shining Stars!
Thank you to Fierce Reads for the arc! Some words to describe this book: stunning, detailed, spine-tingling, and hypnotic.
I was a smidge nervous when I started reading this because I had really hyped it up for myself despite the fact that I’m new to the horror genre and I really wanted it to live up to the hype. I didn’t worry for long, though, because I soon found out that this was so much more than just a spooky book. I sympathised deeply with the twins the story focused on and found them to be such deep individuals that I wanted to know more about. The prose itself was magical and pulled me into the story very quickly as well. I also always seem to love novels written with unusual formatting (like this one had excerpts from newspapers and scripts) so that was also a huge plus for me.
Ultimately, what made this a new favourite of mine was two things: First, it was dazzlingly original. I was constantly surprised by the directions the story took and each scene was so unlike anything else that I’d ever read before that I often had to pause and think “wow. That is so cool.” The second reason was the fact that it made me THINK. If you’ve been following me for a while now you might already know that this is something that makes a book feel extra special to me. White Fox talked about a wide array of topics including family relationships, anxiety, and the double-edged sword that is technology.
To end this ranty review: I really loved this novel and if you are a fan of the thriller and/or horror genre I highly recommend this one!
