Review: Burn Our Bodies Down by Rory Power

Image
This was my first audio from Netgalley and I was so ridiculously excited to see audios up for grabs over there! Burn Our Bodies Down by Rory Power Published July 2020 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   Source: Received for Review Consideration From the author of the New York Times bestseller Wilder Girls comes a new twisty thriller about a girl whose past has always been a mystery—until she decides to return to her mother’s hometown . . . where history has a tendency to repeat itself. Ever since Margot was born, it’s been just her and her mother. No answers to Margot’s questions about what came before. No history to hold on to. No relative to speak of. Just the two of them, stuck in their run-down apartment, struggling to get along. But that’s not enough for Margot. She wants family. She wants a past. And she just found the key she needs to get it: A photograph, pointing her to a town called Phalene. Pointing her home. Only, when Ma...

Wilder Girls by Rory Power Book Review

Behind that beautiful cover is a book filled with glorious body horrors! Wilder Girls by Rory Power Released July 2019 Dark Fiction   |   Goodreads   |   Amazon   Source: Purchased With My Own $ It's been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine. Since the Tox hit and pulled Hetty's life out from under her. It started slow. First the teachers died one by one. Then it began to infect the students, turning their bodies strange and foreign.

They wait for the cure they were promised as the Tox seeps into everything. But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do anything to find her, even if it means breaking quarantine and braving the horrors that lie beyond the fence. And when she does, Hetty learns that t...

TBR Thursday (2)

I have fallen down on my plan to read books in an organized order on week 2 of this post. Is anyone surprised? I momentarily forgot I was supposed to start WILDER GIRLS by Rory Power for the  Ladies of Horror Fiction Goodreads chat. So my tbr photo will be the same as last week. How convenient for me, lol. Up next in the TBR:  Anyhow, next up is STILL Chris Sorensen's THE HUNGRY ONES which is a sequel to his book THE NIGHTMARE ROOM   &  VIOLET by Scott Thomas. This is by the author who wrote KILL CREEK  . Currently Reading: WILDER GIRLS   by Rory Power is my current read and so far it's pretty fantastic. It has some knarly body horror and imperfect characters. I like it a lot more than I did last months pick of  HERE THERE ARE MONSTERS which is a relief. I ended up DNFing that one and am not sure if I'll ever get back to it. YA isn't my #1 go to so fingers-crossed that I continue to love Wilder Girls. What's up next for...
