Horror book rec 🎃

Summary:

The city of Elendhaven sulks on the edge of the ocean. Wracked by plague, abandoned by the South, stripped of industry and left to die. But not everything dies so easily. A thing without a name stalks the city, a thing shaped like a man, with a dark heart and long pale fingers yearning to wrap around throats. A monster who cannot die. His frail master sends him out on errands, twisting him with magic, crafting a plan too cruel to name, while the monster's heart grows fonder and colder and more cunning.

These monsters of Elendhaven will have their revenge on everyone who wronged the city, even if they have to burn the world to do it.

My thoughts:

I absolutely LOVED this book when I read it earlier this year, and I’m planning to reread it for spooky season. The romance is my favorite kind: not super present, but what is there is very compelling and unique. If you can handle blood/gore, I would highly recommend this book, although you should probably look up the content warnings first just in case. It’s seriously so well written, just absolutely masterful work. And the twist at the end was sooooooo so good. I cannot say enough good things about The Monster of Elendhaven 😩
