Wicked Walking by Claudia Cain

adventurous dark mysterious tense fast-paced

5.0

If I could only recommend one book this year to satisfy your inner dark side, it would without a doubt be book 2 of Cain's Fallows Creek series, Wicked Walking.

From the dark and vivid imagery, enchanting characters and the utterly creepy plot, Wicked Walking is the perfect blend of magic and paranormal horror.

The story picks up on the heels of Lovely, Dark and Deep (5⭐ read) as Cassandra and her family are faced with a dark and otherworldly threat beyond anything they have ever faced before. With magic, body possession & some epic action scenes, I honestly have never been so encapsulated by every aspect of a story before!

Think...
Stranger Things / Charmed / and the darkness of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Sounds epic right??

This is definitely one for my thriller lovers who are open to something a little more intense, for what is at times terrifyingly gruesome. It had my pulse racing and my feet were itching to run (the end of chapter 12 😱). I also really enjoyed the element of a slow-burn romance that doesn't overshadow the main plot.

Seriously, Claudia Clain is a hidden gem who deserves so much more hype! Her writing is magic!
I devoured this book in what would have easily been a single sitting if only sleep did not get in the way. I'd even give it 6⭐ if you'd accept it.

I have now also bought all three books in Claudia's earlier vampire series and can't wait to get stuck into those.

Support an indie author go and go grab the series. It's the perfect Halloween treat!
