Rory Power’s newest release, Burn Our Bodies Down, is part mystery, part horror, and all page-turner. Readers follow Margot Nielsen, who has grown up as the only child of a neglectful parent. Margot has asked her mother about their family, only to be shut down at every turn. When Margot finds a phone number that belongs to her grandmother, Margot sets off for her mother’s hometown. With the police investigating a dead girl that shares Margot’s face, it doesn’t take long for Margot to realize her mother left for a reason.
As with all mystery/horror/thriller type books, this book is very hard to discuss without giving away spoilers. I will say that both Wilder Girls and Burn Our Bodies Down were incredibly fast, engaging reads. Rory Power’s approach to horror is one I particularly enjoy, and I feel that this novel in particular would be incredibly cool to see as a movie.
With Burn Our Bodies Down, Rory Power has moved into a space where I will absolutely read whatever she puts out next.
