When MacKenzie starts having terrifying dreams, she decides to return home to try and get to the bottom of the mystery.
I enjoyed this story. It was spooky and layered. I did find that the book got a bit repetitive with the secret keeping and lying. It kind of felt like MacKenzie and her family had to learn that lesson more than once. Apart from that, the characters were interesting and had a lot of dimensions. I was very intrigued in where the story would go. Nice one for a spooky afternoon read.

As someone who’s struggled to transition from YA to adult fiction, I often struggle to find adult-oriented books I enjoy.
But from the get-go, I was transfixed by Bad Cree. The fast-paced, unceasing tension; the creepy, unsettling dreams; the bonds between the main character and important women and non-binary people in her life — it was all an utter delight (which isn’t normally something I’d say about a horror book!)

Not as gory as many horror books, since the focus is more on dreams and the supernatural.glutenfreemaggie's review
