Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC!

This was such a fun concept and idea, the characters were unique and well thought out and developed. I really enjoy inhabiting the world's this author builds in their work, especially when they start off with such strong concepts. Looking forward to more from this author, and more genre bending work!

A fun, biting, interesting twisty book!

Of note: I listened to this one on audio, and I am SO GLAD I did, because that was an amazing audio performance. Seriously, very, very creepy, with the voice changes and occasional background noises.

Athan was wonderfully frustrating as a protagonist, masking his fears, trauma, and worries under a maddening smirk and wisecracks. Dom, the strange boy who saves his life and then demands his help, deserved all the sympathy that I as a reader felt for him as he struggled toward the completion of a momentous task he'd obviously set himself long ago, only to have to deal with this maddening guy determined to flirt with him and who (how very dare!) actually insists on knowing what's going on. The chemistry is intense between the two...which makes it all the more tragic when they need to push past that due to the eldritch horror hunting them and the secret death/art cult killing everyone.

It was scary. It was mind-warping. I loved every minute. I also gotta question whether La Sala actually thought he was writing a happy-ish ending in that epilogue, because both my husband and I found it more foreboding than sweet. But I also think it's better that way, so.

After devouring The Honeys in about 24 hours, I have been anxiously awaiting to read Beholder - and it did NOT disappoint. What a perfectly creepy way to round out the month of Halloween. I kept finding moments I had to immediately go back and reread because my brain couldn’t believe the words the first time. The way this world is crafted, similar to The Honeys, drops you immediately into a world you learn cannot be trusted. The writing has me on the edge of my seat and I can not wait to get my hands on Ryan La Sala’s next book.

The moments of charm or humor give such a delightful balance to the haunting moments of confusion & terror. The main character reminded me of so many people I know while still feeling alive on the page. The writing style kept my full attention through and wishing I could see some mock ups of the designs / artwork mentioned. I will definitely be rereading this one again soon!
