Spooky!! A sci-fi commentary on patriarchy that moves between Devon's past and present. As one of the few woman book eaters she's forced to marry young and give birth, but when she gives birth to a brain eater, she's forced to run away to save her son's life. A heist book about family, found and blood. You’ll eat up the light world building, the complex characters, and the high (and scary) stakes. Dean creates a very dark world, one I would very much not want to live in, but cracks of light come through as the good characters protect their people and the bad characters are revealed.
