HALFBREEDS by Elizabeth Russell

This book is creepy good.  The writing is lyrical, almost poetic.  It paints a Gothic image that draws you in and sticks with you.

I felt for the Halfbreeds.  Even if this isn’t exactly our society, we can each find something in one of the children to relate to.  (Also, as a mother, I kept imagining if my son had to go through this and shuddering.)


Really what sets this book out from the rest is the writing style.  It is just so smooth and lyrical.  I found I couldn’t stop reading it.  It feels like a fairy tale…a dark, creepy fairy tale that will keep you up at night thinking.
