![]() ![]() ![]() As we follow them through their melancholy pasts, their terrifying presents, their uncertain futures, acclaimed author Laura Ruby weaves a heartbreaking tale of love and loss, magic and mystery, regret and forgiveness-a story about how the face the world sees is never the sum of who we are.īone Gap is one of those flow-y books. A fascinating read that will definitely make it into my years’ favorites list.įirst sentence: The people of Bone Gap called Finn a lot of things, but none of them was his name.īone Gap is the story of Roza, a beautiful girl who is taken from a quiet midwestern town and imprisoned by a mysterious man, and Finn, the only witness, who cannot forgive himself for being unable to identify her kidnapper. A deceptively quick read, it really packs an emotional punch and explores some difficult themes through multi-layered characters. Now I can finally go back and listen to the spoilery bits.

I still have goosebumps, and my thoughts are all over the place. Kathe Koja doesn’t write about Nicholas and Nakota’s experience with the Funhole, she drags the reader into that terrifying space with them. There’s something raw, dangerous and downright uncomfortable about this story. See, The Cipher is something completely different from most of the horror novels that I have read in the past few years. This is a tough book to review, for a myriad of reasons, but I promise to do my best. Nicholas says, “We’re not.” But no one is in control, and their experiments lead to obsession, violence, and a very final transformation for everyone who gets too close to the Funhole. “Wouldn’t it be wild to go down there?” says Nakota. ![]() ![]() When a strange hole materializes in a storage room, would-be poet Nicholas and his feral lover Nakota allow their curiosity to lead them into the depths of terror.
