Elsie Fisher

I loved this book. First I borrowed the audio from the library and Emily Woo Zeller, who read this book for audio, was so perfect! She even changing her voice into different characters and different variations of speed to put terror in her words, in all the appropriate places!

Secondly, the writing was also excellent, I grew to love the characters, even the not so nice ones because they all had so much depth. I went to school in the 80’s and this book was obviously written by someone who has. They use the lingo that we used and I was transported back to a time now long gone. Also it was written with the innocence of their youth so balanced and writing their emotional turmoil with that young innocence in mind that rang so true to me. It was totally believable in a oh so horrifying way. It drew me in, then chewed me up as the intensity of the terror rose to heights that had me crocheting as fast as I could go. I didn’t have any idea of how the book would end. But even the end was so good!

No spoilers here, but if you like thrilling horror books, definitely put this on your list!… (altro)
