N0S4A2 by Joe Hill
5.0
Vic "the Brat" McQueen barely escaped from a psycho killer when she was 17. Her mind is split between how this happened. Did he kidnap her and drive her to Colorado, or did she seek him out using her special bicycle and her "powers?" Now that she is an adult with her own son, and having battled for years with what she believes is mental illness, the killer, Charles Manx, is back and looking to take her son to Christmasland for all eternity.
This is the scariest book I have read in many moons. So scary, yet so poignant. The characters are damaged, flawed, but all the more special because of this. I especially enjoyed Vic's relationships with her son's father, and her son (Bruce Wayne). Vic herself is an amazingly drawn character. She is just badass, with her motorcycle engine tattoo over her heart, and her sailor mouth.
This book also made me cry, the second this year. Eleanor and Park was the first. This is the second. Odd :)
