Both are TBR. Here's the description of Amatka from an online article:
"The eponymous city...is one of four colonies, a wintry, agricultural commune that grows fungus for sustenance. No one talks about the fifth colony, the one that was lost so long ago.."
I was immediately intrigued by Rowe's "Enter, Night" when I heard it described as a Canadian 'Salems Lot. #ghosttown #MOvember @Cinfhen
so-soIt was a slow burn and didn't pick up until more than half way through. The story line was dragging at points.
Started this and I'm really impressed with how Canadian this book is turning out. I'm from Toronto and it's kinda cool to see a book mention it.
pickThis was a lot of things. A boy being taken in the middle of the night away to a psych facility to take the gay away. A man who carries a bitterness from the Canadian government snatching him away from his family in the name of saving him from being Indian. A boy and his love for his dog. A widow and her ice queen of a mother in law. And, oh yeah, this was a vampire book. It started great but fizzled towards good in the end. Still a pick.
I‘m really enjoying this book so far. This was an intro to this chapter where we meet 12yo Finn and his dog Sadie. This chapter ends up being super scary. I was clenching the whole time. P.s. the author is Canadian and Canada is very much a character in here. He mentions some of his characters taking a pic in front of a huge goose statue in a small town. Turns out, there is a goose statue in a small town named Wawa. Any Canadian Littens ever been?
