Devil Crept In
Devil Crept In | Ania Ahlborn
An unforgettable horror novel from bestselling sensation Ania Ahlborn--hailed as a writer of "some of the most promising horror I've encountered in years" (New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire)--in which a small-town boy investigates the mysterious disappearance of his cousin and uncovers a terrifying secret kept hidden for years. Young Jude Brighton has been missing for three days, and while the search for him is in full swing in the small town of Deer Valley, Oregon, the locals are starting to lose hope. They're well aware that the first forty-eight hours are critical and after that, the odds usually point to a worst-case scenario. And despite Stevie Clark's youth, he knows that, too; he's seen the cop shows. He knows what each ticking moment may mean for Jude, his cousin and best friend. That, and there was that boy, Max Larsen...the one from years ago, found dead after also disappearing under mysterious circumstances. And then there were the animals: pets gone missing out of yards. For years, the residents of Deer Valley have murmured about these unsolved crimes...and that a killer may still be lurking around their quiet town. Now, fear is reborn--and for Stevie, who is determined to find out what really happened to Jude, the awful truth may be too horrifying to imagine.

#2021Book28
This book started strong and extremely creepy. The middle slowed and got repetitive, but when the perspective switched to another character, it picked up again. I absolutely loved the ending, but I know it's one of those endings that people will hate if they want every detailed wrapped up nicely. But if you're looking for a solidly creepy book with an ending that leaves a few questions unanswered, then you should pick up this one.

Reggie I felt so bad for the kids in here. I loved how she wrote his word salad aspect of speech. She writes kids in general pretty well. 4y

Bail 😑 I really struggled with calling this one. I loved Brother, but I just can‘t eat into it. When it‘s feeling like a chore, the book and I are not meshing. I hope to revisit one day, but I‘m moving on!

Texreader That‘s a great way to describe books that I tend to bail on—a chore. 4y

Well, I liked it. I found it very interesting. I don't want to say too much because it's a #LMPBC. I will hopefully get it sent to the next person within the week.

@Marmie7 @WJCintron @Stacypatrice
Could someone email me the list of group members, please? I think I deleted it. It's not in the folder I thought I saved it to.

Patchshank @Marmie7 I've noticed you didn't mark in The Devil Crept In. Do you want the book left unmarked? I just want to know before I start reading it, so I don't mark in it if you don't want that. 5y
Marmie7 Mark all you want! I just kind of rushed through it, I'm a nurse and work has been crazy😦 I barely have time to read- it's so hard not being able to do one of the things that usually relaxes me. 5y

If you love horror & somehow you haven‘t yet found Ahlborn, fix that now. Pick up this - or really, any book by her - and treat yourself to the new master of the genre. Guaranteed to creep you out & keep you up past your bedtime 😮 🖤

I have a new favourite author! Ahlborn's writing keeps you hooked to the story. If the first and second sections are nail biting, the third section will not let you put the book down at all. Loved the author's storytelling, both from the POV of a 10 year old and a married woman. The story gives you all emotions- curiosity, shocked, scared, unsettled and plain dreadful. Best horror book Ive read in a while. Def pick this up if u love being spooked.

TrishB I read Brother and that was way creepy!! In a good, scary way. (edited) 5y

What a GREAT weekend read! It does capture the essence of childhood and the frustration of feeling alone in the adult world, and it's a legitimately disturbing story. Rosie's narration just sucked me in and I couldn't put it down 😱😱 It kept me guessing and it's relevant that I hadn't read 370 pages in just two days for such a long time! I would definitely like to read more from this author 😋

danibolahood @BookishTrish in an answer to your question I have no idea! That's probably not very helpful for you but I'm still trying to sort out what actually happened lol. I actually loved that last scene as well as the twist but it just left me with sooooo many questions. If what Stevie says played out the way he believes and they covered up Jude's role it's very possible the step dad had a hand in Stevies fingers. 7y

Drinking game: Every time a stray cat is mentioned take a shot. Unless you‘re a pro, you won‘t make it past chapter 3. Lol. This was my book for my #screamsbymail group and I feel great about it. Ania has yet to write a book where I feel a formula is involved. This hit a lot of horror points for me. Stevie finds out his best friend and cousin, Jude, is missing. Small town, dark woods, good creepy stuff. She wrote 2 young boys very believably.

I‘m calling it. Didn‘t make the whole 24 but did ok.
Tips for the next 24:

1. Don‘t schedule the paint nite your friend bought you for X-Mas on Saturday night thinking it‘ll just be a 2hr reading break when it‘ll turn into a 6 hr catchup.

2. Don‘t read a 672pg. emotionally exhausting book to start your second day. It‘ll wipe you out. Keep it light.

3. Reg, the day you swore would never come, came. You definitely prefer digital books. 😵

Reggie @Avanders it has gotten to the point that I‘m so lazy I‘d rather read off my phone and just swipe my thumb to turn a page than turn an actual page of a physical book. It‘s the height of supreme laziness. Also, wanna look up a word, boom, you just highlight it. Want to remember a passage, boom highlight it. Want to remember where you were boom, it opens to where you were automatically. I hate myself, lol. 😜 7y

I'm having a little bout with depression and finding it a little hard to focus on reading. ''Tis the season for the blues. I hope it is temporary. 😔 On the bright side, my (four legged) baby is sleeping and I have some peace and quiet. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Remember, if you are suffering with depression and/or anxiety, you are not alone. I really love this community and feel like it is a sort of sanctuary. 💜

JacqMac This time of year is hard. I hope you feel cheerier soon. 7y
ErikaB My ability to concentrate has been shot for the better part of the year. Audiobooks have been a huge help; I get to hear the story but I don't have to totally focus on only that. 7y

TricksyTails I'm so sorry you're going through this. ? I very much relate. I haven't been able to focus very well on reading for the past couple of years. I'm happy you have your sweet reading buddy to keep you company. This community has helped lift my spirits tremendously. We're all here for you. If you need someone to "listen", I'd be happy to email with you. ?? 7y

Well, as we all know, @JoeStalksBeck is one awesome Litten. She just sent me this tagged book. She steered me in Anya‘s direction a little while ago and I love her work. This one sounds very creepy. Thank you!!! You are the best!
(Plus, earlier today the #kindledailydeal got me again😊)

JoeStalksBeck Yay! I love this book! I hope you do too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 7y

😍 I've been coveting these books for so long now! Especially Stiff and the tagged one. I've been on an Ania Ahlborn kick lately where I just want to read everything she's ever written so this is amazing. The Poe bookmark is perfect and everything is just so cute. Thank you @JPeterson ! #halloweengoespostal

JPeterson You are very welcome! I hope you enjoy! Mary Roach has been one of my favorite authors for years, and Ania Ahlborn is a current favorite! 7y
