Brother by Ania Ahlborn


Started: 8/21/2023

Finished: 8/23/2023

Year: 2015

Pages: 319

Genre: horror

Grade: B

Reason for reading: library book, book club book with local bookstore-even though I'm not participating in it, I'm still interested in reading the books that are chosen.

Type: paperback

Blurb (from Amazon): "Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it’s served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don’t knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing as to what’s buried in the Morrows’ backyard.

"But nineteen-year-old Michael Morrow isn’t like the rest of his family. He doesn’t take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees. Michael pines for normalcy, and he’s sure that someday he’ll see the world beyond West Virginia. When he meets Alice, a pretty girl working at a record shop in the small nearby town of Dahlia, he’s immediately smitten. For a moment, he nearly forgets about the monster he’s become. But his brother, Rebel, is all too eager to remind Michael of his place…"

Opinion: Certainly not the family that I would want to be living with after being kidnapped.
