For months I'd been seeing The Devouring Gray pop up on reading lists relevant to my interests by authors I love. Feeling in the mood for something a little darker than my usual reads for the Halloween season, I decided the time was ripe for diving in. I was not disappointed. With a haunting, destructive being trapped inside the Gray desperate to get out, shocking betrayals, and characters you can't help but like despite their faults, this quickly hooked me and I devoured it in one day.
