natreviews 's review for:

Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker-Martin
4.5
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Reminded me of a queer version of It or The Thing. I really enjoyed this book, even if I knew from reading the back exactly what was going to happen. Full of body horror and queer love and acceptance. I liked the overall pacing and writing of this better, but the story of Manhunt more (not saying this one was bad at all, I mean it got a higher rating). Very excited to read more from Gretchen!
