A review by readwitray
The Unmothers by Leslie J. Anderson

1.0

This is the driest book I think I have read for 2024

Marshall’s husband died and to help her cope. Her boss sends her on a journalist assignment to a small town where strange things are happening. 

Maybe I am too dumb to read this book but I understood nothing. I felt like nothing was happening. Marshall was going there to write a story about a horse giving birth to human baby but nothing really happens until 80-90% of the book. It is the slowest burn in a horror book I have ever read. 

There is so many POVs with little to no explanation on who or why these people are involved with the storyline. I felt like this book was all over the place. 

The last 90% of the book was the best part. 

I was wanting spooky, dark with old folklore and I did not get that.
