Even though I am not normally a slow burn fan, this book was so captivating. I couldn't wait to find out what happened. I never expected the twist either!

If you are a fan of cryptic legends or stories like Devolution, you'll love this one. 

While not as long as Devolution it has just as much tension and action in the story plus you're left with an ending that you can make how you want it to be, good or bad.

There's a prequel but I'm not sure I'll read it. Im afraid it would ruin this story for me.

If you loked Daisy Jones and The 6 you'll like this one. 

Such a disappointment from this author. 

3* because it went on for too longs. Not much of a mystery. I figured it our pretty early on.

This was a surprisingly good book. 1st of all, just the fact it was a new release and available on libby w/o a wait was shocking.

2nd of all, not only was the story a good, dark, creepy story it was also informative about heirloom apples and early American history.  Apples give off fall vibes so it was a good Oct read.

I throughly enjoyed this book.

I would have never read this book if In had know it was originally published in the early 60s. That explains the stiff dilogue.

I figured from the preview of the Netflix movie that there was gay overtones, whether repressed or acted upon. God knows in these days you can't have a western without the cowboys being gay.

Did being in the closet make Phil such a dick?  Why is Rose so freaking weak?  Tell that dude to F off and leave her alone. God, and George?   Bruh grow a pair. The only one who was worth a dang in this entire story was Peter. He was the only one who was brave enough and clever enough to stand up to the bully. And that's what Phil was...a bully.

If I had to hear 1 more Phil POV of how he bested someone?  No one was safe from his levels of mean.  Not children, not Jews, not women, not even his own mother. I'm glad he was killed. He deserved every single bit of misery.

This auduobook was 8 hrs but it felt like I've been listening for 8 weeks.  Thank God it's done.
