dinoreader84 's review for:

The Drowning Kind by Jennifer McMahon
5.0

Another one that hit it out of the park from McMahon.

I was allowed to read the e-arc via NetGalley, and I am so glad I was.

I've read the horror genre since I was 9 years old (Stephen King), putting it at just shy of 27 years as my favorite genre. There is almost nothing that creeps me out anymore, though I still thoroughly enjoy some good horror fiction. The Drowning Kind is the first book I've read in a very, very long time where while reading it in the dark I thought to myself, "Uhhhh...I have made a grave error."

Blurring the lines between paranormal and reality the author expertly keeps you guessing until the very end.

This was a wonderfully immersive (see what I did there??) experience full of atmosphere and a dual timeline that keeps you on your toes.

Easily a 5 star read from this fellow Vermonter.
