White Smoke

i got so properly spooked by this book that my partner had to check the house for me to sleep properly lol

tiffany d. jackson is, in my opinion, the queen of the unsettling. it's a lot less blatant than in some of my other favorite unsettling books (never let me go, etc.) and thus much more scary when the twist is revealed. i am STILL thinking about monday's not coming and allegedly. still! it's been two years!

however, white smoke, which is an outright thriller novel, fell a little short for me in terms of my unfortunately high standards with regards to tiffany d. jackson novels. the eeriness was not as subtle this time around, and the signs of gentrification were a little obvious for my liking but at the same time not nearly explored as much as i would've liked?

i feel really conflicted with the ending and how the book wrapped up, but i still enjoyed the spook nonetheless
