Web of Malevolence:

Winter, 1971. Grief drives teenager Michael Tedesco into exile—straight into the arms of a grandfather he barely knows, hidden deep within the sun-bleached isolation of the Florida Keys. At first glance, the island feels like paradise. But paradise has a memory. The locals watch too closely. Speak too little. And when they do speak, it’s only in hushed warnings—stories of Naia Tomes, a witch who once stalked the island… a woman said to have fed on human flesh before the newcomers put her down. Buried. Forgotten. Or so they claim. Because something is stirring again. The wind carries whispers that shouldn’t exist. Shadows linger where nothing should stand. And Michael begins to realize the truth the island has been hiding: Naia Tomes is not finished. As the past claws its way back into the present, Michael is pulled deeper into a suffocating nightmare—one woven from secrets, superstition, and blood. The kind of horror that doesn’t just haunt you… It waits for you. And on this island, revenge is not a story. It’s a ritual.

5 out of 5 fairies

This opens with a folktale and visceral imagery, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the horrors that lay beyond. Before I continue, a word of warning – if you aren’t ok with gore, then skip this one, because it can get quite graphic at times. My heart really went out to Michael, being a teen is hard enough without having your life upended like that. The story kind of creeps into your bones, and sticks with you even after you close the book. Thankfully the story is fairly short, because you’ll absolutely want to finish this in one sitting once you start. There are twists you won’t see coming, and I’ve never been so grateful to live far from where this story takes place, or I might be looking over my shoulder at night. Definitely recommend for the horror lovers out there!
