Welcome to Litsy!

It's funny when you know that an author is from Kentucky by the language that they use.

"From there you could look down and see the whole of Laurel's world: the tobacco barn high upon the hill, the equipment barn in the bottoms..."

Wake the Bones by Elizabeth Kilcoyne
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I absolutely loved the writing style and the creep factor. The storyline held my interest immediately although parts of it jumped around, and some actions of the characters seemed inconsistent. Overall, this story is exactly the type I love so I'm rating it 4 stars.

This was a fun (and a little bit creepy) October-kinda-book about a supernatural curse, magic, growing up, love and friendship. It‘s maybe YA, but not too YA for me, but the ending made me want a little bit more.

Glad to have seen your excellent review of this book, @PatriciaU 😃

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

2 ⭐ I was told this was a thrilling tale of horror. Where? I didn‘t see it in the 34% of the audiobook I listened to. Laurel Early grew up in a small tobacco growing town. She escaped town to attend a university in the big city of Ohio but dropped out for bad grades. In her free times she likes to taxidermy. This book took so much time in the set up. We had to find out about her friends, her hobby, her uncle, and her bones.

Holy Hell! I felt like I was reading Stephen King for the first time as I raced through this amazing story. Elizabeth Kilcoyne spins a story so full of terror that your nails will be bitten to the quick before you‘re done. Everything is here - the small group of ordinary humans battling great evil, an outcast with the sight, a small-minded small town, and the greatest evil of all - the Devil himself. Out July 12!

The theme for the weekend was four.

The tagged book comes out later this month and if you like small down magical realism (that borders on horror) you should check it out.
