If you want an emotional read, with LQBTQ characters, tons of heartache, and gorey imagery, this one is a must be prepared! I heard this one was messed up but I had no idea….. going into this one with little info is best!

brokenspine's review against another edition
Todd was bullied in school and as often happens became a bully. There is child abuse, domestic violence, a lot of homophobia, and it just became exhausting. There is some gore. Unnecessarily so, but nothing I couldn’t handle. And Todd’s unraveling reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tale Tale Heart, but not as engaging.

Hawk Mountain deals with internalized homophobia in such a deranged, frustrating, agonizing way. I was kind of hoping the book wouldn't go down that path (the bully turning out to be secretly gay seems stereotypical). But Conner Habib's writing is so mesmerizing that it felt like a new take on this trope. It explores two timelines (the high school timeline and present day) that peel back answers and insights into why things went horribly wrong with Jack and Todd.
This book is definitely not for the faint of heart! There's a reason why this ended up on my Weird Girl/Horror Booktok recommendations. There's violence and body horror that really turn your stomach. At the same time, it's hard to look away.
