Where to start with this one… this book was increadible, sinister, and devastatingly haunting. I adored the way the story was written and the dark, uneasy Appalachian setting. The consistent background presence of the devil, as well as Tess’ strife with the local church and some of the townsfolk, kept me thoroughly hooked.

The feminine rage was woven into the story beautifully, and I loved seeing Tess slowly unravel throughout the story until the brilliant crescendo at the end. I adored all the religious symbolism and the themes of sacrifice, power, morality, but what hit me most was the way the story embraced the dark and monstrous, and showed that even things that everyone else fears and condemns can be beautiful and just as worthy of love as everything else. That little fawn sunk her teeth into my heart and just wouldn’t let go… 🦷

I’ve been in a reading slump for months now and I was worried I had lost that passion and feeling I used to get when I was so engrossed in a book, but Fawn was such a rejuvenating read that I genuinely didn’t want to put it down or have it end!

I didn’t think I’d be this moved by a little folk horror book, but I already know this story is going to stick with me for a very long time. It gets infinite stars from me ✨ I will definitely be reading more from @cnvair 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘴 “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘳 𝘕𝘢𝘮𝘦” 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘚.
