![]() ![]() That sentence does not describe books I gravitate towards! But I have really enjoyed L. This is not a book I’d normally pick up, because it’s speculative fiction, inspired by history, and light on romance. If you like creepy or horror, you would like this! Xe Sands does a wonderful monotone in places that makes sense to the story and gives it an even more ominous tone. ![]() ![]() I listened to this book and it was creepy and haunting, which is exactly the tone needed for this book. Which is a whole third character looming in the background, feeling alive and threatening at almost every turn. Or maybe the creepiest was the family home. To be honest, I don’t know who was creepier – Vera’s dying mother who despises Vera and constantly says creepy things, or Vera’s father in her memories who fills her head with what seemed close to bizarre religious beliefs. Her mother is hostile towards her, there’s something living under her bed, and her father was a serial killer who may be haunting the house, so things are complicated! We get bits and pieces of their backstory revealed, combined with pieces of what’s currently going on but there are still so many questions as the story continues. ![]() This book begins with Vera coming home to take care of her dying mother. ![]()
