I read this back in 2018, then I checked out The Shuddering and Within These Walls. All of them were finished in about two or three days because of how they captivated me. Ania Ahlborn is another of my most favorite writers. 🖤

OMG I'm so excited! Thank you for this recommendation. I had never heard of it

Brother has been on my tbr for a while. Good to know I put another banger on the list lol

In general I do not like horror and I probably will not read this but I so enjoy how you talk about books and analyze them. It has helped me become a better reader and to know which horror books I would enjoy reading (much to my surprise).

Thank you for another great review. 😊

after trying unsuccessfully to finish that terrifying first scene three times already, I have been just waiting for your review before giving it one more try - and once again your warning makes me shiver AND crazily curious: you are awesome! 👀

You are absolutely right about this being one of the most popular horror books of late. I read it last year, and I thought it was pretty boring with an overly simplistic writing style until the third act, which was genuinely fantastic and surprising. The final couple of pages are terrific in particular. I get why the book is beloved, and I'm happy to keep it in my library, but not sure Ahlborn is an author for me in general. Thanks for another horror video Willow!

I have had this in eBook format on my Kindle for years now. I don't know why I haven't gotten around to watching it before now. Probably something to do with the ever-increasing, never completed TBR. Might have to bump this one closer to the top after listening to this review. Thanks for the heads up! 👍

I read Brother back in 2018 and loved it! It was so disturbing and felt like a character study to me. Great review

Just finished it and I mean I LITERALLY just finished it. Jumped onto KZfaq to look at reviews and found this vid. The book blew me away. Absolutely fantastic

Brother is one of my favorite books I read last year...I don't know how I feel by the end of the book. I keep flip flopping on weather or not it was a good ending that fits it's tone, especially around it's construct around it's themes around hope, revenge, and envy. I love it so much.

As a hillbilly trans woman from the Wisconsin backwoods I've had people make Ed gein n silence of the lambs jokes about me . I've always been treated different for being who I am n this brand of horror really helps me cope . Also my name is misty nowadays so I'm really excited to read this book n get to know that person

Added to my list, thank you Willow

Excellent review I need to read this

Oooh, adding this to my TBR for sure!

Aaand now I too, want to read it! 😆😆😆 Willow has a way of making these books explains that makes you, at least want to check them out. 😁

I will need to check this out!

I swear that description of the book reminds me so much of the movie The Hamiltons, sign me up!

It's excellent!

do you think this one is more disturbing than boys in the valley? i remember you talking about that book and you're the reason i read it!

All her books are good!

Too many spoilers.
