Bride of the Tornado by James Kennedy

neeleyg's review

5.0

It is safe to say that I have never been more confused and shocked and scared?? This was like hereditary/midsommer esque. Like cult vibe but SOOOOO much more weird, I felt like I was on hard psychedelic drugs the whole time I was reading it. Fucking loved it.

The writing style is oddly nauseating, and not in the intended way. I'm sure some will love this as it's very fever dreamish - a seemingly endless stream of weird regurgitating nightmareishness mixed with typical outcast high schooler moments.

The story was too all over the place to understand most of what was going on, and I feel genuinely sick from the last quarter of the book. Not due to the fairly gorey descriptions but because of sentences that last a whole page and feel like a rabid squirrel typed out it's thoughts.The author has some really unique ideas but I just didn't vibe at all with the writing style.
