welcome to freakslaw. it's the circus that will shatter your grey, conversative, small-town life ... and the book that will make it oh so much better.

freakslaw by Jane Flett is a debut force to be reckoned with. for fans of kirsty logan and mona awad, flett's visceral writing and characters that truly come alive drag you into the world of freakslaw with them. you will follow the arrival of this chaotic, queer and magical found family (the freakslaws) and witness as they unfurl this quiet town into chaos.

nancy was my favourite character from the get-go. she is a scorpio (like me!), opinionated and her character was very edgy tumblr inspired. her lack of care for consequences made her come off a little annoying 3/5 deep into the novel; there are literally 3 pages of other extremely unique and well written characters that it didn't irk me that much. zed and ruth were the other stand out characters and I like the way ruth's story was rounded off.

this novel is not for the faint hearted. It is true chaos and folk horror and visceral and bloody and I love it.

this will not be everyone's cuppa tea, but if it's yours, then oh boy are you going to love this.

thank you to the publisher and the author for sending me this ARC. all opinions are my own, honest views.
