We might be closing in on Spring, but I’m on a horror and thriller kick. Nothing like sunny weather to get you in the mood for something dark and scary.
It’s been a year since Chief Rachel Kennan’s son was lost in an accident and she cannot let go. With two daughters to still take care of, Rachel and her husband Finn have been pretending to tolerate each other. When a disturbing murder takes place in the town, Rachel’s investigation will dive deep into Appalachian folklore and into the town’s secrets.
A haunting family saga combined with Appalachian folklore, Nowhere will keep you on the edge of your seat. While I didn’t find it to be extremely ‘scary� (anytime children are involved I do get the creeps), Allison Gunn has created an atmospheric story. Though Rachel was hard to like and so was basically every other character in the book, the relationship between Finn and Rachel was complex and filled with grief. I was completely drawn into this story almost immediately, but the second half seemed to lack the same ‘oomph� as the first. However, the supernatural aspect was woven perfectly into the story and I’m dying for someone to turn this into a TV Show.
Comparatively, if you enjoyed Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman last year, then Nowhere will be a great fit for you.
Nowhere comes out March 25, 2025. Huge thank you to Atria for my advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion. If you liked this review, please let me know either by commenting below or by visiting my:
