Book Review: The Devil Crept In by Ania Ahlborn

Kid's perspective on a creepy creature in the woods that messes with animals and occasionally kids. That's the basis and it's pretty well done.



I'm afraid to give away too much of this one. The journey is the point, the whole point, and this is one wild and creepy ride. Normally, I knock books like these for failing to surprise me but I can't this time because even though I knew the answer, I enjoyed watching the boy discover the answer for himself. Therein lies the brilliance of this book, it didn't bother me that I knew what was coming because I was so engaged in watching it unfold.

This chilling little tale definitely held up its end of the bargain and like I said, I won't give any spoilers but, I enjoyed the journey and strongly recommend this book. I will definitely be seeking out more of Ania Ahlborn's books (looks like I need to scope out Brother and Within These Walls).

As always, this post includes Amazon affiliate links, you won't be charged extra for using them to purchase these awesome book recommendations, but I do get a little money back if you use them so please, use them, and help me keep this blog loaded with most excellent reading suggestions and more!
