Burntown by Jennifer McMahon
4.0

After The Winter People, I knew I found an auto buy author in Jennifer McMahon, and Burntown has helped solidify McMahon as one of my favorite authors. And one I absolutely plan to reading everything I can consume of hers.

Burntown was just such a fantastic and fantastical story. It was thrilling, with interesting and so very flawed characters, with a plot that had my head a spinning.

I can usually get the punchline or twist before it's revealed, but this one blindsided me, and I loved it.

I wish parts of the story were explored more, mainly around the father. But that's kinda how I feel about all of McMahon's stories. They're grey, but I wish they'd go on forever.

The stories are that good to me!
