The Devouring Light was a spooky swampy read surrounding Haden and a crew of musicians as they survive a bus crash and find themselves stranded in a creepy house in the swamp called The Light. It goes back and forth between mixed media and I think this really adds to the story and the history surrounding The Light and its weirdness. There was definitely a lot of weird happenings and creepy moments and as much as the swamp was a perfect gloomy and foreboding setting for the story I would have loved more spooky swamp details to add to the vibes. There wasn't a single alligator, sad me! There was however great detail about the house and I loved that. This one definitely had a lot of weird things going on but I enjoyed that it had a strange twist!

The Devouring Light was absolutely fantastic! The author wrote a story that was so well written I found myself flying through the pages, unable to put the book down, pondering what would happen next. My favorite piece of this entire story was how believable the characters were.

The writing is clear and clean, and very immersive. The book hums along at a good clip, but the pacing makes sure we're given time to breathe between plot-intensifying moments. The story was absolutely engaging and the work that went into the settings was noticeable and superb. I felt absolutely transported and I'm so incredibly glad I was able to read an arc of this story.
