Book Review: The Unwelcome by Jacob Steven Mohr


     Kait Brecker had escaped her ex-boyfriend Lutz and ran to her best friend, Alice. Whatever horror Lutz had forced on her Katie hadn't been able to tell. Instead, shutting into herself. But, that is okay. Alice would always be by her side. Now Kait was going with Alice, her boyfriend Ben, and Riley to Ben's family cabin in the woods for the weekend. Perfect place for Kait to get her head on straight and come back. That is until Lutz follows them and the bodies begin to pile up. Would any of them survive this weekend or would Lutz get what he wanted all along?

    I received this audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review. He asked me once if I had any idea what was going on and it made me think that there was some kind of twist to the book. Something unexpected instead of what was implied. I kept searching for it and waiting for the other shoe to drop. It didn't, but it didn't detract from the book. In fact, I really enjoyed this book. Very body-snatchers. I had said it gave me skin-walker vibes when I spoke to him, but I knew that wasn't the right term even at the time. I had Covid and was a bit brain-fogged. I knew what I meant, but was hard to put it into words. Body Snatchers is better. 

    This horror book is different than others I have read and it is always great to find something new. It is a novel I think even King would be happy to read, based on his normal recommendations and his own writing styles. Maybe he will read it and give his opinion on it at some point. Who knows. Either way this was a great read and I look forward to more books from this author in the future. 

    My favorite character in this book was Alice, which is amusing considering the ending. Not that I will give the ending away, but you will see what I mean when you finish this book for yourself. She is so sweet and loveable while having a bit of a bite. Besides, you know I have a weakness for female redheads. This book is available on Amazon for $4.49 by clicking here.
