A review by alicia_toothman
All the Dead Lie Down by Kyrie McCauley

4.0

Even though it’s a horror novel, All the Dead Lie Down is such a dark and beautiful book. The immense love just made my heart so happy. The family love aspect was perfectly woven into the story, not disturbing the suspense.

Seeing how Marin grew as a person, especially as her love for others grew, was a great touch. It wasn’t an overnight, snap of the fingers progress. You’re walked through every hurdle, tear, and lightbulb moment.

I can generally guess what’s coming but I couldn’t with this. I’d have an idea or feeling of what to expect but never guessing completely and I thoroughly enjoyed that.

The overall biggest thing I liked about All The Dead Lie Down is that the suspense is well worth it. It’s the perfect perfect balance of suspense and surprise.

Oh, and Thisbe’s love for her brother? Just precious!
