The twisted ones was one twisted read! I enjoy T. Kingfisher’s books, and this was no exception. This book was creepy and full of tension. There are things that go bump in the night, the day, the woods, etc. When this book isn’t being creepy, it has parts of humor. I loved the quirky characters who provided the humor and helped Mouse in various ways.
There are things that you expect to find when clearing out a relative’s house and there are quite shocking. Mouse (Melissa) was cleaning out her deceased grandmother’s home when she found her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first looked like nonsensical ranting. But soon, Mouse saw something that looked like what was in the journal. What follows is terrifying. Of course, she decided to do her own detective work with the help of her dog and neighbors, Foxy, Tomas and Skip who tell her about the creepy things in the woods. This is where I would have left as fast as I possibly could. Plus, if creepy things were in the woods near my home, I wouldn’t stay. I’ve seen too many horror films to put up with that crap. But to stop things, she stays and ….
Tense, creepy and quirky.
