📚The Beast You Let In

I couldn’t put this book down! There was so much happening, but it was easy to follow when you find out that the small town of Ashling has more to it’s history than what’s publicly known. The thing that was most emotional about this book is how Hazel and Beth had to hide who they really felt they were because of how the adults saw queer kids. So, while having to solve the mystery of an unsolved murder, the twins and their friends (who are also queer) have to face their struggles with having their own identity in a world where the parents only see things as black and white. There are elements of witchcraft and mentioning the historical ties to the Spiritualist movement, summoning a vengeful entity and, for lack of a better way to say it, Karma getting payback. 

This book is great for anyone into the paranormal and horror genres. And yes, this is a YA book, but they had to face some real adult subjects and face the adults that started it all. So I say this is a good read for adults, speaking as one myself.

Thank you to Colored Pages Book Tours, Sourcebooks Fire, and Dana Merle for the gifted book.

You can grab a copy of this book wherever Sourcebook Fire books are sold. I have seen Barnes & Nobles carry this imprint in their YA section, but it can’t hurt to ask your local bookstore or library to get a copy.
