The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher
2.0

Boring! Interesting story, boring ending. Lots of buildup through this quick story. I got Evil Dead, True Detective, and idk, Jackie Brown(!?) vibes. If you like any or all, I think you'd like this. I liked the characters and the pacing, I wished for a more fulfilling plot. I got bored with the diary after awhile. I thought the rude, hated grandma would be the heiress to the tok toks or something kind of Pan's Labyrinth. If she was a husk left behind and her consciousness went to the stone land, that might explain why all her empathy and warmth left her body. . .But no. Roxy was a badass and I really liked knowing Bongo was gonna be okay. It kind of felt sci-fi fantasy by the end rather than horror. Meh.
