After deciding to read the first couple pages of this book to get a feel for the vibe, I then proceeded to read the entire thing in one night (I was too scared to sleep). It is utterly addictive, such a perfect mix between fast paced action and tender reflection that I genuinely couldn't put it down.

We follow Sara as she tries to make sense of gorwing up and finding her own way in life, set to the backdrop of post- apocalyptic Britain. Paranormal creatures stalk the lands, taking a variety of shapes as they hunt down the few humans left alive. Things take a turn for Sara when a mysterious girl shows up just outside the wards of her familys base, but will this be a positive change? Or will things get a whole lot worse?

I am a horror film fanatic, seriously, I've watched them all. However, I always found books in the horror genre to be a bit of a let down. Bower has completely changed this for me! It was tense, eerie and downright frightening at times and I loved every page! I especially enjoyed the nods to traditonal folklore throughout, and the title is such a clever reference to what makes this so scary - the inability to define the unknown.

Bower wrote a cast of characters that were all very lovable (even if I did have beef with Danny for most of it), and the Queer representation was spot on.

The only reason this is a four star read for me is that I found the descriptions a little repetitive at times, and I thought a few scenes could have been a bit clearer.

Ultimately, this is a book I would recommend everyone read, especially horror lovers. The ending had me reeling, and I will definitely be reading whatever else Bower graces us with in the future.
