katebitters 's review for:
My Darling Dreadful Thing
by Johanna van Veen
dark
sad
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
A great twist on a ghost/possession story. The characters are well drawn (even the spirits), and I liked the relationship between the protagonist and her spirit AND between the protagonist and Agnes (a very unusual love triangle). I loved the spooky, atmospheric settings. Some of the content was tough, but I knew it would be going into it. A well written book with a unique premise.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Death, Gore, Mental illness, Racial slurs, Murder
Moderate: Drug use, Incest, Rape
