ππππππ βπππ πππππππ₯ππ ππ€-- Have you ever lived in or visited a supposedly haunted place? The first apartment we ever lived in had a pentagram on the back of the door that had been painted over. As atheists, my husband and I joked about it and how creepy it was. My skepticism about the reality of hauntings does not preclude me from enjoy books featuring hauntings and haunted places. Today on the blog I'm kicking off my three post series featuring @ericawatersbooks and her sophomore novel: The River Has Teeth with readalikes for the book The River Has Teeth is infused with a creepiness around the woods and marsh where the story is set. So of course, I had to recommend one of my favorite creepy woods novels: Strange Grace by @tessa.gratton Head on over to the blog to see what other books and themes comprise my list and check out the synopsis of Strange Grace below! SYNOPSIS Once, a witch made a pact with a devil. The legend says they loved each other, but can the story be trusted at all? Find out in this lush, atmospheric fantasy novel that entwines love, lies, and sacrifice. Long ago, a village made a bargain with the devil: to ensure their prosperity, when the Slaughter Moon rises, the village must sacrifice a young man into the depths of the Devilβs Forest. Only this year, the Slaughter Moon has risen early. Bound by duty, secrets, and the love they share for one another, Mairwen, a spirited witch; Rhun, the expected saint; and Arthur, a restless outcast, will each have a role to play as the devil demands a body to fill the bargain. But the devil these friends find is not the one they expect, and the lies they uncover will turn their townβand their heartsβinside out. #themedrecommendations #bookrecs #bookrecommendation #bookrec #ericawaters #strangegrace #creepysetting https://www.instagram.com/p/CRrZAHjL5cG/?utm_medium=tumblr
