Burn Our Bodies Down
by Rory Power
I wanted to love this after enjoying Wilder Girls but sadly, I wasn't as impressed. It was weird which I didn't mind but it never pulled me in the way Wilder Girls did. There were lots of secrets and family drama but it felt repetitive and I ultimately found myself just wanting to know what the hell was going on so I could be done with it.
I felt for Margot, her emotions and the issues with her mother felt raw and real. The mystery was interesting and definitely different and the magical realism aspect was intriguing but I couldn't help the feeling that I wanted just a bit more of it.
I enjoyed this, just didn't love it. The last third was really good but the middle definitely dragged for me. Overall, if you enjoy a creepy, suspenseful, slow-burn read that skirts the line of horror I'd definitely say to give this one a try.
