Lockjaw by Matteo L. Cerilli
5.0
Lockjaw was so up my alley! It’s a new queer ya horror set in your stereotypical small town where nothing goes wrong and there’s definitely no monsters hiding in plain sight. A story about and for those lost and forgotten, purposely left behind by society and craving to take their rightful revenge. Told in multiple POVs seamlessly intertwined together (two of them being trans characters!!) where even the town itself feels like a character all on it’s own speaking directly to the reader!
I was fully blown away by this book! Cerilli does such an excellent job with layering in all of the foreshadowing together and just the general inherent offputting vibes of Bridlington. I often pride myself in being able to see things coming ahead of time when I read and the way how this left me guessing at every turn 😳 At one point, I fully had to stop and take the rest of the day to completely process exactly what had just happened 😅 Definitely one that warrants multiple rereads!!
Lockjaw quickly became one of the top books of the year for me and I hope y’all pick this one up if you are looking for a new raw summertime horror to read this season!
