ryinwonderland 's review for:

American Rapture by C.J. Leede
5.0
adventurous dark emotional sad medium-paced

 “We live with death. And Horror chooses not to turn away from it.”

A young woman raised in a deeply religious, incredibly sheltered household, tries desperately to survive a plague of lust (you read that correctly), and begins to question her faith, beliefs, and upbringing as she is exposed to the outside world. 

This book is gorgeous and horrifying and heartbreaking and feverish. Full of religious trauma and horny zombies, I couldn’t look away. 

Absolutely phenomenal. CJ Leede has become a “Drop Everything and Read” author for me.
