Gloam by @jamackay_ is highly gripping, fast paced horror story which I devoured in 2 days, and it was really horror. It's a YA fantasy horror that reflects loneliness, deaths in family, siblings love, family bonding, vulnerability of children who lost their mother and restoring happiness. At the end of the book you will find calmness and content within your soul. It's a story about Gwen, she came to Gloam island with her siblings and Henry to stay in their maternal grandmother's house. Henry is the stepfather, after their mother's untimely death he is now the only responsible guardian of the kids. In Gloam, by night the road stayed underwater, erasing the only way that connects them to the mainland. Gloam didn't get much traffic, these new visitors in late autumn are going to leave a remarkable change in this tiny island. Gwendolyn or Gwen didn't like their new babysitter Esme, she is not all sweet as she looks, she is too perfect, too beautiful, too sweet chiming voice, too much lovely, evrything is too much which is scary, Gwen scanned every perspectives there must be something in the babysitter or why she would be so sceptical, she feels vulnerable and claustrophobic arround Esme. How could Henry allow the kids to live with such an unknown person, Esme make him to believe her, she is a witch or a more horrible creature!! How Gwen wish if their mother would be here, she missed Mom in every time, it's the most important time, she needs her. She is a lone fighter, she must save herself and her siblings from Esme. This book is not just a perfect horror story it's a quiet shivering thought of loneliness, it's a nice depiction how elder's ignorance and elderly attitude can lead their kids to dangerous blackhole, it's screaming vulnerability of a motherless kid who is eager to save her brother and sister while helplessness suppressed her she finally finds courage. Highly recommended this book. Your last horror book?
