A must read!!!!🫶 (thriller,horror book)

I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this book up. I was just supporting another black author. But baby this was a really good book. The beginning was mid. But it got really good and shocking towards the middle and especially the ending. With only 15 chapters in it, that was a plot twist I NEVER saw coming. That was what truly made the book amazing. It is thriller and does have blood and death scenes in it so, just letting you know. #lemon8bookclub #lemon8bookchallenge

2024/1/13 Edited to

... Read moreIn the world of thrillers and horror, few books manage to create a profound impact within just 15 chapters. This novel stands out with its clever narrative that surprises readers with each turn of the page. The author masterfully blends tension and suspense, ensuring the mid-section and ending keep you on the edge of your seat. For those who enjoy engrossing plots, this book encapsulates the essence of horror with its portrayal of death and shocking scenes. Supporting black authors not only promotes diversity but enriches the literary landscape. Readers who appreciate stories with unexpected twists should certainly add this gem to their reading list. Additionally, the sense of community experienced in book discussions under hashtags like #lemon8bookclub and #lemon8bookchallenge can enhance the overall experience.
