Debra 's Reviews > Black Sheep

Rachel Harrison can do no wrong in my book! Black Sheep was gripping, shocking, fun and entertaining from the very start. I loved how this book played out like a movie in my mind. I love how creative, original, and entertaining her books are. They are horror (but not too horrific) with some humor thrown in.

Vesper left home at eighteen to start a new life. She was raised in a religious community, where you either stay or leave and never come back. She was hoping to do that - never come back. Then she received a wedding invitation in the mail. Her cousin Rose is marrying Vesper's ex-boyfriend at their family farm. Curiosity got the best of her, and she decides to return. Who says you can never go home again?

Rachel Harrison's books are refreshing, original and entertaining. I had a great time listening to the audio version of this book. The narrator did a fabulous job of bringing the story and characters to life. I devoured this book. When Vesper goes home, things get interesting very fast. Her mother is a famous scream queen. Her family is made up of very interesting characters. Some are inviting, some are cold and aloof, some are creepy, and some are bubbly. Pretty much like many families except this family is not like most families! Far from it. Plus, there are family secrets, toxic relationships, creepiness, and danger galore. It was right up my alley!

I enjoyed Vesper. She is the ultimate 'Black Sheep' in her family. She is full of spunk, snark, determination, vulnerability, and strength. As more is revealed about her and her family, I became even more invested in the story. This was such a great book that kept me on my toes.

Dark, entertaining, shocking, and well written. I can't wait to read what Rachel Harrison writes next!

Traveling Witches read with Brenda!
