Knock Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson
5.0
4.5/5 stars.
Etain Larkin finds a dead body in the middle of the street whilst driving home in the middle of the night. She does what she thinks is the right thing to do, but for Etain, being in the wrong place at the wrong time leads to an unspeakable horror—one that will haunt her for the rest of her life.
The word for this book is UNSETTLING. And I devoured it. The mix of horror, family saga and Celtic folklore was a winning combination for me. There’s a lot in here, and I think for some this will feel extraneous; but to me it pulled me deeper into the world of these women as they navigate endless tragedies, the mysterious and the ungodly supernatural. This is the kind of book that leaves you seeking answers until the very last page, and makes you want to re-read it immediately with all that you’ve learned.
