![]() ![]() ![]() Genre-defying, dark, incredibly imaginative and incredibly chilling in how believable these horrors were… yet somehow I also felt hope in these pages and the encouragement to resist. My second book from Rivers Solomon, and again this is a book unlike anything I’ve ever read before. There may be some that I have missed, so I’d also recommend checking other reviews on Goodreads! Finding the truth will mean uncovering the secrets of the compound she fled but also the violent history in America that produced it.Ĭontent warnings (highlight to see): abuse animal death (hunting for food, killing for sport) brainwashing childbirth cults domestic abuse homophobia (external and internalised) human experimentation interactions with police loss of a loved one murder (including mass murder) past paedophilia racism (micro and macroaggressions) reference to past rape self-harm sexual content (explicit) suicide violence, injury, death. To understand her metamorphosis and to protect her small family, Vern has to face the past, and more troublingly, the future – outside the woods. Forced to fight back against the community that refuses to let her go, she unleashes incredible brutality far beyond what a person should be capable of, her body wracked by inexplicable and uncanny changes. ![]() But even in the forest, Vern is a hunted woman. ![]()
