Most of the plot was lost to me at this point, but I remembered how dark and uneasy it had been. What better place to hide is there for vampires, than the long dark winters of Sweden? Let the Right One In is not your usual vampire story. It's about two isolated and mistreated children, who form an unlikely friendship. It's about broken people and their every day struggle to make ends meet.. or their slow decay as they have already given up and drown their sorrows in alcohol instead. It's about a predator who has also become a slave. About cruel bullies and broken adults. This book tells a brutal but fascinating story. It's thrilling and disgusting, with a very bleak and heavy atmosphere. But there is the occasional scene that will make you chuckle. The humour is used sparsely, but just in the right way. There are a lot of different POVs to follow, each more broken and messed up than the next. Every single character in this story has issues. Some fight to get out of it, while others have already accepted their fate. It's an intense and uncomfortable read, but very much worth it. Content Warning: p*dophilia, SA, body mutilation
