Black Sheep
by Rachel Harrison
Many thanks to my friends at @berkleypub and @prhaudio for the #gifted copies of this book.
A horror film star. A cult. And an abundance of family secrets.
Tis the season for all things macabre and sinister, and Black Sheep hits ALL the dark and creepy notes.
In this wholly unique premise with sharp-edged, fast paced writing, Harrison delivers a dark and twisted family drama full of gore and laden with dark humor.
Maybe most surprising about this book. It’s relatability. Vesper is a snarky, badass character full of angst. I found it easy to root for her as she battled old demons, internal and external, in search of self-acceptance.
My biggest suggestion: go in blind! This is a twisty story with clever reveals. Just as I thought I had a handle on the premise, Harrison would upend everything I’d expected.
Those jaw dropping moments made this one WILD ride perfect for spooky season.
🎧 This was my first read with narrator Jeremy Carlisle Parker, but let me tell you… I will be seeking her out in the future. Her voice oozed emotion. This was not a reading. This was a performance. She embodied every detail of Vesper and brought the story to life.
