Week 9: Brother

This week's book:
Brother
By Ania Ahlborn

What in the holy hell did I just read? This book was so flipping bad/horrid there aren't even words. I have always said that gore isn't scary, it just makes me want to vomit.

In the beginning of the year I saw a pin on Pinterest about fifteen creepy scary stories and I thought "heck yeah. I have sooo many gift cards for Barnes and Noble I am going to order some of these." This week's book was one of those books. I will admit I have been reading some of the other books through the year but I really wanted to save this book for closer to Halloween. The book sounded so late 00's horror movie like.

So here's a fun fact: I loved Rob Zombie's first two movies "House of 1000 Corpses" and "The Devil's Rejects" when I was in college. We would watch them all the time. Here's another fact: both times I have been pregnant I have had super duper gore-infused dreams, or should I say nightmares, which made my already horrible morning sickness even worse. Because of those dreams I really can't do gore and guts and blood filled movies or shows or what have you. The poor hubs hasn't seem The Walking Dead in like five years.

Brother is a story about a guy about twenty who lives in a family who kills and eats people. Yeah, cuz that's super normal. Think of every family dysfunction and you have it in this story. Literally the only reason I finished the book was to make sure everyone had paid for their crimes, which I can neither confirm nor deny happens by the end of the story.

If you like truly yucky books this is the book for you, if not go read really anything else.
