A review by xfirefly9x
Malus Domestica by S.A. Hunt
4.0
I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.
Malus Domestica is dark, gory, intense, and taste-the-dust atmospheric. The atmosphere sinks under your skin and embeds itself there. To use a metaphor, the atmosphere sinks under your skin in much the same way as how the witches use their powers to "familiarise" people by inserting cats into them; unless you're protected by an algiz, you'll probably not escape it.
The story itself was... one thing after another... same as any other story. But each thing that came builded on what came before, until a town filled with vibrant characters came to life. The characters are all unique and vivid in their behaviours and needs, and the way their individual stories connect is so compelling that by the end, you won't want to let them go.
An excellent read.
Not recommended for animal lovers (especially cat lovers) or anyone who dislikes gore.
