πππ ππππ’ π ππ’ πππ ππ πππππππ... The Larkin siblings are known around the small town of Wofford Falls. Both are artists, but Peter is the hometown hero. The one who went to the big city and got famous, then came back and settled down. Heβs the kind of guy who becomes fast friends with almost anyone. His sister Betsy, on the other hand, is moreβ¦ππππππ₯π£ππ. She keeps to herself. When Lark goes to deliver one of his latest pieces to a fabulously rich buyer, it seems like a regular transaction. Until the guard plays him a live feed: Betsy being abducted in real time. Lark is informed that sheβs safe for now, but her wellβbeing is entirely in his hands. He's given a book. Do what the book says, and Betsy will go free. It seems simple enough. But as Lark begins to read, he realizes that the book might be demonic. Its writer may be unhinged. His sister's captors are almost certainly not what they seem. And his town and those within it are... changing. βοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈβοΈ/5 This was truly unlike anything Iβve read. It was so weird and disorienting, with a few moments of genuine horror. The story starts like an ordinary abduction and transforms into so much more. The writing was done well, the story itself was unique, and the fact that it kept me on the edge of my seat, guessing what would happen next, was a plus. This by no means was perfect. The ending was so abrupt that it was slightly jarring. This is a multi-POV. We are given the prospectives from Lark, a ghost, and some other loveable characters. The overall feeling was totally immersive while completely feeling uneasy. This wonβt be for everyone - at times, it's confusing and all over the place, but it was 100% a five-star read for me. I absolutely loved it. Add this to your TBR.
