On Wednesdays, I vow to inconsistently list some good books I’ve recently read.
You know how you pick up a book and know nothing about it except for the fact that maybe that particular author’s books are always amazing, with rich characters and a great voice? And then you read it and get totally sucked in and stay on the couch reading it while you ignore everyone and everything else around you? And then get to the end of the book and go —AAAARRRGGHHHHHH because there is going to be a sequel and you’re both angry and relieved at the same time because you did not want this book to end but the sequel isn’t out yet darnit so now you have to wait?
Yeah, so that’s where I am with this book.
Matt de la Peña’s THE LIVING is gripping and terrifying and well-thought out and crazy exciting. If you like great characters, suspense, and unique settings –
Go forth and find this book.
