Oops. I was searching for something else at the library (don‘t remember what) and this came up in the search results. I thought it sounded like fun so I put it on hold. Today I took it out to start reading and noticed the “author of” a book with a suspiciously similar name on the cover. Sure enough, this is book 2 in a series. Why don‘t they just say that in the cover/subtitle? 🙄 Thankfully my library does have book 1 so I have it on hold now!

ravenlee That‘s always so frustrating! I need the pertinent information in the description and on the cover: what number this is in a series, series title, previous titles in said series! 2mo

Couldn‘t finish it, the storyline is not for me personally.

I picked this up because i loved Daryl Gregory‘s Spoonbenders. This is so much darker - but i loved it. I think it counts as Horror but compared to what @Reggie reads, its probably Rainbow Magic Fairies level 😂😂. But for anyone else - this is a dark twisty tale of Stella, an Appalachian moonshiner in 1948 who is drawn back to her childhood home for a funeral. Her family practiced their own secret religion out in the woods… ⬇️

Centique Gregory‘s writing is marvellous, it keeps you totally spell bound with fascinating characters and a spooling out of two timelines where youre racing to find out what happened in the past as well as whats happening in the present. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 7mo
Reggie I really liked this book. It‘s another in the cannon of men who just cannot play second fiddle to really special women. Lol “We men have to interpret the revelator.” Whatever. Bunch of sad ass man struggling to control a narrative but knowing they can‘t. Which also sounds like a news headline right now. Also, loved the writing. I could eat that writing with a spoon all day. How‘s it going Paula? Our landlord who is 84 decided to sell the house👇🏼 7mo
Reggie we‘ve been renting for 13 yrs. He gave us 3 months which is super nice. So I‘ve been looking for places to live. Pretty sure I‘ve picked the one where im going but it would be nice if I could hear back from one that is 2 minutes away from work. Wish me luck. 7mo

Centique @Reggie im so glad you liked this book too! Wow, moving after 13 years is a big change. I hope you get a great new place. And landlord of the close to work house - Ring Reggie Back Already!!! 7mo
rwmg Having just gone through the throes of an unexpected move myself after 7 years, you have my sympathies, @Reggie. 7mo
Reggie @rwmg I‘m really just being a baby. In 20 years this is my 3rd time. But moving suuuuucks. So thanks! Lol 7mo
batsy @Reggie Moving does suck! All the best and hope you hear back from that place close to work 🤞🏾 7mo
Suet624 @reggie, 13 years is a long time and the act of moving sucks. I hope you find a quirky place to live that suits you to a T. 7mo

Well, shit. I wanted to get things done today, but instead I finished this book. I haven‘t read a whole book through in a day since I was a teenager. You might love Revelator. It‘s spooky, twisty, and you can‘t trust anyone.

I needed some time to get to Revelator. It feels, so far, like an episode of Old Gods of Appalachia but without the tenderness. Mind you, that‘s not bad! It‘s just very different. My reading buddy and I are shirking our eternal laundry responsibilities, and maybe that‘s okay.

Excellent new horror!

Set in the backwoods of Appalachia, this story follows a family full of secrets and a strange religion. I absolutely loved the setting and felt it added a lot to the overall gothic feel.

I don't want to give away too much but there are some truly creepy moments, a few great twists, and a perfect ending for this unforgettable tale.

Highly recommend this one to horror fans.

This is one of the wildest and most original books that I have read in a long time. I‘d call it Appalachian Gothic.
