SKETELON KING by Charity B.: ARC Review

Skeleton King by Charity B.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mrs Bailey's universe will always transport me to a challenging place. With Skeleton King, she once more pushed my boundaries.
It's always with a great anticipation that I start her new stories; I love going in totally blind and truly I recommend you to do the same.

This retelling of The Nightmare Before Christmas, gritty, ultra dark is set in an atmosphere of deviance and depravity that twisted my stomach, several times, and I absolutely loved the feeling.
"You’re as empty as a Russian doll at a thrift store.”

The main characters, Jonh and Sarah broke my heart and warmed it.
"My desires are seen as perversions in the Mundane World."

They are scared, damaged, have demons. The strength hey show in their day-to-day lives is palpable, their vulnerabilities and doubts touched me.
"Since I was a child, he’s taken me apart only to put me back together again like a demented puzzle."

The equilibrium between the most gut-wrenching scenes and the gentle moments kept me enthralled. Skeleton King is a story about healing and finding your happy place that I devoured with great pleasure!
"I could finally feel some version of affection without risking pain or cruelty. For either of us."

Happy reading!
