Devil's Day by Andrew Michael Hurley

Go to review page

dark mysterious sad slow-paced
No rating or content warnings as I read this years ago in a library. I do recall it was slow, but really atmospheric and built up a local folk tradition really well. It felt domestic / gothic at times, but had a bit of horror theme to it.

I read Pessl's book Night Film and I wanted more from the author. This wasn't really in the same vein but I still enjoyed it. And considering this is YA, it really shouldn't be compared to an Adult genre book anyways.

It was an interesting premise, edited well enough that a time loop wasn't boring, the characters were decently written, the pace was good. The ending was a little meh for me but I enjoyed the journey there. It was bittersweet.
