Horrid by Katrina Leno
4.0
challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

This was a great read to start the year. An unreliable protagonist leads the creepfest and you don't really know if what is happening is her hallucinating, someone gaslighting her, or something supernatural. The twist at the end made my jaw drop and it built so skillfully to an intense end. Loved it and will definitely read more of Leno's work. I dropped a star just because I wanted a bit more, like, gore, but it's YA so it does what it needs to for that audience.
