A review by sipsoffiction
Midnight on Beacon Street by Emily Ruth Verona

4.0

Emily’s writing is unlike any writing style (in the best way possible) I have experienced before. The simplicity of it but also the way she can make you feel the emotions that she was conveying at the time.

Told from both Ben’s (the young kid) and Amy (the babysitter’s) pov over the course of one night. Each chapter letting you know what time it is and how close it is to midnight, however, not in order but actually jumping all over the place. Which I love—but I would be lying if I didn’t also say hated—because I would finish a chapter and need more but it would jump a few hour before.

I loved the reference to the different classic horror films of the 70s and 80s but I also loved more that this whole book felt like a classic horror film in itself. I love that the cover give off this 80s horror film vibe as well.

I can’t wait for more of Emily’s books!
