Sleeping Celeste by Alana K. Drex It is October 1885, and Marie Maecott seems to be the only one who knows what has happened to her daughter, Celeste. She is angry that no one else understands her daughter's condition, as any mother would be. Then one chill night, groundskeeper for Heathridge Cemetery, Jacob Willis, tells her a dark secret in his family's past that just may hold the key to her problem. Marie will need to set off on a journey to find out--one in which she will discover terrible parts of herself--parts that would have been better off left buried. And some are going to find out the truth of the timeless adage: it is best not to come between a mother and her child. Adult • Horror/Supernatural and Occult • Horror • Horror/Southern Gothic |

Worldbuilding: Piqued curiosity
Plot: Straightforward Characters: Roles are clear
Storytelling: Descriptive
Immersion: Didn’t want to put the book down Emotional Response: Strong emotions
Thought Provoking: Did some research after reading
Cover: Matches the story well This is a story of desire, loss, grief, guilt, obsession, and sacrifice. This was a bit bone chilling honestly. It’s short and to the point, but manages to be elegant and eerie at the same time? The writing is great and pulled me right in. |
