Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Vesper escaped from the strict religious community when she was raised in at 18 and never looked back. That is, until a wedding invitation shows up at her doorstep inviting her to her cousin/former BFF's nuptials. And something tells Vesper she should go home. Just for the weekend. But when your family's as…..unconventional…..as Vesper's, even a quick visit can turn into a nightmare.
This was a great, quick read, with a couple of really fun twists thrown in for good measure. With the spooky season right around the corner, it was easy to sink into a book centered around a strange religious community and the "prodigal daughter" who returns home to find that nothing's changed, but has some big secrets revealed to her.
I'm not going to give anything away, but this book was great in its delivery - it's got all the makings of a good horror/thriller, but it also has some great dark humor in it to. The twists and lines are revealed sometimes casually, like an afterthought, almost making me laugh out loud as the characters chatter on like nothing's wrong. It was brilliantly written stuff!
I can't stress enough how fitting this book is for the fall season, especially as you're curled up with a blanket or with your pumpkin spiced treat of choice. It's a great choice for horror fans and dark humorists alike!
