Brother by Ania Ahlborn

 

Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it's served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don't knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing as to what's buried in the Morrows' backyard. 

But nineteen-year-old Michael Morrow isn't like the rest of his family. He doesn't take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees. Michael pines for normalcy, and he's sure that someday he'll see the world beyond West Virginia. When he meets Alice, a pretty girl working at a record shop in the small nearby town of Dahlia, he's immediately smitten. For a moment, he nearly forgets about the monster he's become. But his brother, Rebel, is all too eager to remind Michael of his place…

I’ve seen this book all over Instagram, so thought I’d give it a go. Wow, this was so good, a bit effed up, but was such a good story. There were so many parts which I was shocked, there’s some rough stuff that goes on, so you may think I am mad for being so upset during some of it. My heart broke for michael, it’s not his fault he was brought into this wierd messed up family, and made to do some awful stuff, but he wants out, he doesn’t like what his ‘family’ do. Rebel, Michaels older brother, is an absolute psychopath, what a nasty nasty piece of work he is. 

I don't’ think anyone can really tell what this book is about properly without reading it, and once you have you will see its not what you would first think. Such a good read.
