The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins | Rating: ★★★★☆

The Library at Mount Char, penned by Scott Hawkins, was at the top of my to-read list this year due to its intriguing and dark description. It sounded completely mental and just the right amount of creepy. Who can resist something like that, right? Summaries can often be weak and lack that spark to captivate your interest, but this one will surely catch readers eyes instantly.

Plus, how cool is that cover?

Something about it made my skin crawl in all the right ways and basically sealed the deal for me. It was like I couldn’t look away and I hadn’t even read it yet. The Library at Mount Char was calling me from the very start.

So listen to that gut instinct that tells you “read this, read this!” if the description intrigues you–it’s totally worth it.

The Library at Mount Char was dark, mysterious and yes–a little weird; but this is what made reading it such a joy. I was on the edge of my seat constantly; confused, frightened, thrilled and all that good stuff. I didn’t quite know what to expect from it, at times I resembled a very confused emoji, but I did know I was enjoying myself immensely.
