Book Review: They Watch From Below by Katya de Becerra 📚✨
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
Okay, so I just finished They Watch From Below, and wow, what a ride! First off, can we just take a moment to appreciate the cover? Seriously, it’s stunning! It immediately drew me in and set the tone for what was to come. 😍🎨
So, here’s the scoop—Addie Velde is our main character, and she’s kind of a vibe. She gets an invite to an early orientation at the University of the Arches, which is this gorgeous beachside campus that her mom adored. Naturally, Addie is super excited to make her own mark there. But things take a dark turn as soon as she steps foot on campus. Her dorm, ominously dubbed The Crypt, gives off major creepy vibes, and it’s not long before she realizes that there are some heavy secrets lurking in the shadows. 🌊🏫
As she digs deeper, Addie stumbles upon a chilling campus mystery linked to these ominous figures called “The Buried Ones.” Legends say they’re harbingers of death, and with a missing professor and an occult society thrown into the mix, Addie finds herself in way over her head. It’s thrilling to see her unearth these secrets, especially since her own family might have ties to this eerie history. 🕵️♀️🔍
I devoured this book in just two days because it was so engaging! The writing is sharp and fast-paced, making it impossible to put down. The setting is brilliantly crafted, with the blend of eerie symbols, old religious elements, and the land's haunting backstory adding an extra layer of creepiness. 🖋️🌌
The characters? Let’s just say they’re not one-dimensional—each one brings something unique to the table, making you genuinely invested in their journeys. And while the ending provides some closure (thank goodness!), there are still enough questions left dangling that keep you thinking about Addie’s fate long after you’ve turned the last page. 🤔📖
Overall, They Watch From Below is a perfect mix of mystery and horror that kept me on my toes. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to check out more from Katya de Becerra. If you’re into stories that weave together suspense and a touch of the supernatural, this one’s definitely worth picking up! 🌟👻
