DEAD MANS HEART By Axl Malton
First of all, if you have this on your TBR, bump it to the top now. Don't be a dick like me and leave it 3 years before picking it up, it's incredible and does not deserve to be gathering dust on your bookshelf! 🖤🫀
Bruce is a heart surgeon, his teenage son is waiting for a heart transplant, he worries about this, a lot. Maybe too much. He keeps his son wrapped in cotton wool for fear of anything bad happening to him..
All the while his wife is keeping a secret, one that could tear the family apart, and cause a lot of heartbreak..
In another part of town, Aiden lives a sheltered life, one of fear, poverty and a hidden thirst..
Two very different stories of two very different families, running adjacent to each other, until they eventually blend together. Beautifully, darkly, disturbingly and unexpectedly.
A brutal and at times heartbreaking tale of Karma and revenge. An adrenaline fuelled, intense and exciting rollercoaster ride you won't want to end.
A smooth and descriptive narrative that paints perfect imagery and scenes, makes this a real page turner. It's detailed, fast paced, and completely gripping. The short, sharp chapters and perfectly paced storyline, alongside the tense expectation will have you on absolute tenterhooks.
It isn't extreme horror, but there are some NASTY kills in this one! 😁
It also took a pretty unexpected turn, and didn't go where I was thinking it would. And I loved that. A particularly chilling extra twist towards the end too, this book is everything a good horror book should be, I was utterly hooked. I just hope i never need a heart transplant! 😬
"Turns out blood gets everywhere.”
