Near the Bone by Christina Henry
dark
tense

4.5
Reading this is what I imagine reading thrillers for everyone else is like. It went at a breakneck pace, I couldn’t stop until it was over, and the fact that I was more scared of the human monster than the actual cryptid monster says a lot. It was suspenseful, and sad, and the ending was well-deserved and definitely earned. All the characters were great, the ones you’re supposed to like you like right away and when Henry tells us what’s actually going on, I think we’d all go try and kill that human monster ourselves. Totally fantastic, absolutely worth the hype.
