Hello my lovely readers! Tell me, why are all the books I've read recently absolute BANGERS? Let's get into it.
SYNOPSIS
A woman who can’t remember her death.
On an eerily quiet island off the coast of Ireland, a woman with no memory claws her way out of her grave and back to life. But not everyone welcomes the return of Mara Fitch.
An island with a terrible secret.
Inishbannock. Where strange misshapen figures watch from the trees and the roads are covered in teeth. Where two brothers gamble for nothing, the doctor only treats one patient, and the pub owner speaks in riddles. Where a poet loses and finds his soul. And a man without a heart claims he’s the key to unlocking Mara’s secrets.
A past that refuses to stay buried.
As Mara returns to her life on this upside-down island, her memories begin to leech their way back to the surface. The more she remembers, the more the village will do anything to stop her . . .
But the sea remembers it all.

MY THOUGHTS
This novel was delicious! I know that's a strange way to describe a horror novel, but it's fitting because I couldn't get enough of it.This was my first time venturing into Irish mythology and horror and I LOVED it. I listened to this and the narrator did a fabulous job and it helped me feel like I was on Inishbannock trying to dodge monsters.
Also, this was a great callback to my time in Ireland in 2010 and 2023. The mentions of Dublin, Dingle and the Irish islands (I visited the Aran Island) made me want to take another trip there! Hmm....
