Brother is literally one of the best books I have ever read. Ahlborn's writing style hooks you into the characters, and her use of perspective is phenomenal. Every single twist and turn will have you violently turning pages. Whenever you think you know where things are going in this book, you're thrown back and forth between theories like the inflatable-arm-men that you see outside of car washes. 

No synopsis is going to do this book justice, and neither can a small descriptive blurb. I wish any creator's review truly highlighted how amazing this book is, but at the same time it almost feels like a well guarded secret; as if it is something that everyone has silently agreed upon has to be discovered by each reader on their own. 

They can never make me hate you, Misty Dawn. They literally can't.

Brother took me three hours and forty minutes to get through.

Gobsmackingly awful and gut wrenching. Not for the the faint of heart but one of the most hopeless, true horror stories I have read in a long time.
