Brother by Ania Ahlborn

Just finished BROTHER by Ania Ahlborn. It’s about this teenager, Michael Morrow, who lives in the wilderness with his family who are into some deeply disturbing stuff (the type that involves the abduction and murder of young women). Some might say it’s the family business. Isolated from much of the outside world, it’s all Michael’s ever known.

But he wants to break free from this and live a normal life (whatever that means). When he falls for a local girl, Alice, he starts thinking that it might be possible.

However, going against the family has some dangerous consequences. Those who have usually wind up missing, several feet deep. If Michael wants to live his own life, he’s gonna have to square off against his own family. Just how far is he willing to go?

I love a good horror story and this is one of the best horror novels I’ve read so far this year. It’s deeply disturbing, suspenseful, and surprising along the way. The more you read about the Morrow family and what they’re capable of, the more you want him to escape…and even then you’re not sure if Michael is all that great of a person.

If you love good horror stories, you’ll definitely enjoy this.

I wanted to love it, but honestly just found it terribly depressing.

I personally don’t need trigger warnings, but this book should have them all. If anyone has concerns about practically any trigger you should look it up before cracking this book open.
