Book Review: Starve

 


All it took was one time.

One breakdown and I ended up behind the locked doors of Bluebone Ridge Sanitarium.

Something is wrong here.

It whispers through the cracked windows, coils beneath the floorboards, and breathes in the frozen Washington air that never truly warms, even in the summer.

Something hungry.

At night, the screaming starts. I’m locked in like prey, and the dark watches with hollow eyes. When someone—or something—finally sets me free, it isn’t a mercy. Because whatever haunted Bluebone Ridge followed me out. It’s ancient… starving. And now it knows my scent and the taste of my blood.

He doesn’t know whether to devour me or claim me.
But either way, I’m sure I won’t survive unchanged.

STARVE is a MF standalone, folklore-esque monster romance. It does not end in a cliffhanger, and contains quite a few aspects readers should be aware of. For a full list of potential triggers, please check the front of the book.


My Review

Beware the monsters that go bump in the night at Bluebone Ridge Sanitarium!

Fern may not have been thrilled with the idea of going to Bluebone Ridge Sanitarium but if she hadn't she never would have met Cairo. Cairo is a man of mystery or should I say a "monster" of mystery. One moment he is protecting Fern and the next he is threatening to "devour" her. All while calling her "Little Bird". 

I liked the addition of Moro, the dog. Just make sure to stay on Moro's good side as this dog does bite!

Um A.J., I am going to need you to write more monster books. Instantly, as soon as I started reading, I got American Horror Story Roanoke vibes. You can say that "I'm starving" for more books like this like from A.J. This book is a MUST READ!
