Welcome to Litsy!

“A minute passes in shocked silence as we watch the fire eat its way through the store. “We gotta get out of here,” Ash says. But Pike doesn‘t move, hypnotized by the blaze. Black smoke leaks out through cracks around the door. The place is going up fast, the flames #feasting on the old wooden building. Now a shadow moves past one of the windows in the apartment above.” #feast #QuotsyOct19 #AllHallowsRead #GiveAScaryBook

I actually ended up liking this quite a bit, which surprised me. It was a slow starter for me. I read it for a YA Literature class, where it was under the “adventure” genre, and I think that fits better than the “horror” genre some people are describing it under. I am really easily scared, and this did not scare me. It did hold my interest, though. I liked the unique take on the beast as villain trope.
