This Thing Between Us by Gus Moreno

This book had me deeply interested in parts one and two, but it started to lose me towards the middle of part three. By part four, I was out. 

Proclaimed to be a horror story, it gives both that and psychological thriller. You can’t decide if there actually is a supernatural presence haunting the main character or if they are going crazy due to extreme grief. But you might get scared regardless of whether or not the events are actually happening to the main character as a lot of what is described is rather disturbing. Besides the scare factor, this story also has a gross factor. Brutal dismemberments, body disfigurements, violent attacks, this tale has the works. It is not the worst story I have read in terms of making me go ‘ew’ but I would put it on my list. 

I can’t say much more without giving away too much of the story, but I will say that it is worth reading. You’re left wondering about what really happened throughout the course of the events and what the aftermath is going to be. Finishing this book had me on the verge of considering a philosophical question, but I never actually got to figuring out what that question might be.
