Cruel Summer by Wesley Southard
4.0
This is a mixture of domestic abuse, a mothers deep love for her son, and a creative story intertwining modern day and mythology.
It takes us into the depths of the monstrous part that often lives in a vile humans heart and the hate that dwells there. As the story unfolds, it reveals the mythological creature that dwells in the deep depths of the ocean, lying in wait to return, waiting for the hate to feed it and give it control.
A story of a mother and son living through domestic abuse and coming to grips with it through strength and love, finding a way to lean on another human and move forward. Doing everything in their power to push the past behind them takes them on an even darker path, one which they may not survive.
At times during reading this, it gave me the chills. Just thinking about how vast and powerful the ocean is. Imagine it being completely controlled along with all the deep sea creatures by an evil mythological God!
I enjoyed reading this, entertaining and creative with a satisfying ending!
