Crawl Space

I was so excited to read this book from the small bits of information I had seen on TT. Then to get asked to ARC read was such an honour.**4.5**I loved Silas so much. His inner monologue had me in stiches. Yes his past was heart-breaking but despite what he turned into the people that caught his attention, in my opinion, deserved it and more.This is the first book I have read where there is a character that is mute and it is actually for a genuine reason. That was interesting and to see how he tried to overcome that was hard but also real and I appreciated that.What happened to his sister broke my heart. That poor girl did the only thing she could do to escape when to her there was no other options and for it to be Silas to be the one to see that I am not at all surprised that is what made him snap.Now Ivy, this FMC was just chefs kiss!! She's hilarious with a whole heap of sarcasm that makes for a fantastic read. Some of my favourite quotes are from Ivy..."I'm going to need to book a session with Jesus if this carries on.""I have a knife and raging anxiety, and they don't mix pretty well."See hilarious!!As for James... I have no words, but the ear scene, despite being gross, lives rent free in my head.I do have a few questions that I will need answers to. How did they know where to find Silas? They entered the house knowing he was there? I need to know if this will be explained? It is clear that the penitentiary where Silas was before allows for systematic abuse and I can't wait to see what Ivy and Silas do when they are there. I know Ivy has that darkness in her. I am itching to see what she is capable of. Also the cliff-hanger was so mean!! I need to know!!
