ARC Review: The Angel Of Indian Lake

 I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my opinion of the book or my request itself. 

The Angel of Indian Lake by Stephen Graham Jones

The final book in The Indian Lake Trilogy, we are once again with Jade Daniels, final girl and (sometimes reluctant) protector of Proofrock. If you haven’t read the first two books in the trilogy before reading this one, you absolutely must to follow this one. I did not remember enough, and so was frequently confused, but that was a me  problem, not a book problem.

This book is scary. It’s also very gory, which is hard to stomach at times. There was a death that left me furious and deeply sad. This book was a fitting conclusion, continuing Jones’ intertextual conversations on race, gender, ownership of land, and what is passed between generations. I would recommend this book if you read the first two and liked them.
