This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno

4.5

I am not even sure where to start with this book lol. I didn’t know a ton about this book except the main character is dealing with the loss of a loved one and that it was about grief and something horror related.

So to say I didn’t have any idea of what was to come is an understatement lol. This is a wild ride. It’s so well written, deep, complicated, scary, mysterious, disturbing, and atmospheric.

I’ll need time to reflect on this one because I just don’t know how I feel overall. Did I enjoy the book? Absolutely! But I felt so much so fast that I’m left unsteady and need to think it all through.

This book is an experience and I loved it! Reading this as blind as possible is my recommendation because it really kept me guessing and uncomfortable in the best ways. It’s a very unique story that has so many elements.

-With that being said, you may want to at least peek at trigger warnings. There was a part I definitely didn’t see coming that caught me off guard and would be upsetting to some; it was to me. It didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the book, but it made me really sad twice over.
