Tiffany Martin's Reviews > Our Fathers' Burden

Wow what a ride and we jump deep into the crazy trip of camping like their fathers to see what they all were hiding from the sons. All 5 dads are dead and now want their sons to take on the burden they have dealt with year after year. The way the book bounced between present and past was a great way to connect the sons to the fathers and fill us in on the whys and hows.

The characters were well developed and the use of the monsters ability to use the humans fear to weaken them was a nice touch. The setting of the Appalachian was perfect because the mountains has many places where a creature could live and go unnoticed because of the lack of people in the area.

I didn’t like how the author used fuck in almost all of the dialogue between the men. Not because of the word it’s self but because there should have been a variety of words. Otherwise, it was well written and maybe he personally decided to do this to show that they were unhinged.

Thank you to NetGalley & Wicked House Publishing for the ARC in return for an honest review.
