Stopped reading because it actually depressed me! ( ) Objectively, I don't think this is a bad book, it just wasn't my personal taste in horror. I typically don't mind a slow burn but this was excruciatingly slow and so much of the horror elements felt corny and half baked. If anything, I think this book made me realize that I really despise paranormal stories and ghosts are so unserious. There's a LOT to unpack In this novel. Not a soft read in any form. Life cycles, porcelain figurines that are precious enough to be called family. Voices in the head, first person (very important), body horror and body hate. Change, regret, violence lots of violence. A secret cult? Revenge and even betrayal. I had to do this one in small servings because the horror is so harshly rooted and raw. It's well delivered and made the author's message so vivid and permanent. I loved this book. A little bit of horror. A little bit of crime thriller. A lot of bit of relatable impacts society holds again women and aging. And how childhood bullies can impact growing up. Then enough humor to tie it all together. I loved the writing style and pace! If anything perhaps the ending could have been shorter buuuut it wrapped it up all together nicely. Highly recommend. You can definitely tell Mary was inspired by Carrie. It was like if Carrie was older and came back to her home town. It was hard to put down despite it being a slow burn novel. I also liked all of the characters and I loved that Mary was an unreliable narrator (I'm always a big fan of unreliable narrators). And props to the author for including trigger warnings at the beginning of the book! I haven't come across too many horror novels that do that so it was pretty cool to see. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: Nat Cassidy's highly commercial, debut horror novel Mary, blends Midsommar with elements of American Psycho and a pinch of I'll Be Gone in the Dark. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
