something for everyone
This amazing new book (from the author of House of Hollow) will be on the shelves in January 2024. It's got something for everyone: it's a thriller, it's fantasy, it's horror...there are witches, there are demons, and there are strong female characters. The world building was right on point, definitely not formulaic but also sufficiently explained that I didn't have any trouble buying into it. The writing style was absorbing and set a fast pace. The atmosphere is creepy and dark, and readers should be warned that it's pretty gruesome at times; there's lots of body horror and violence against women. But the plot is tight with great twists, and there's even some humor. The characters are fantastic. They are flawed--and therefore relatable--and they continue to develop throughout the book. I want to meet up with them again in another book!
