The Devil's Pocketbook

Another case of a cover that didn't speak to me hiding a book that spoke to my core, that's why they say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, I guess (not that there's anything wrong with the cover of this book it's just not my vibe you know?).

I liked the characters in this book so much, Erik and Lara were great, and I related to Lara a lot, so her actions made so much sense to me in a terrifying and heartbreaking sort of way.

That ending too, chef's kiss.

Dark, depressing, captivating and atmospheric. This was a fantastic read from start to finish. There are some very dark themes in this book, but all handled in aid of the story, not just for the shock factor.
Brilliantly paced journey into grief, the psychological damage it can do to you, and the vulnerability it leaves you with. All neatly wrapped up in a damn fine horror novel.
I absolutely loved this and will be looking for more from this author.
