Burn Our Bodies Down

No Sophomore Slump here. Burn Our Bodies Down is a slow burn of a mystery that had me whipped into a frenzy trying to guess where it was going (is it Cosmic Horror? Is it clones? Ahhhhgggghh!) No spoilers here but I raced through the paragraphs as antsy as Margot trying to figure out what the hell was going on at the farm.
Margot is a strange girl, her mother-even stranger. When she comes across a photo hinting at a family that exists (and her mother has never talked about) she takes it upon herself to go investigate.
The second the pickup truck pulls into town, things get weird. Then they get weirder and weirder and weirder. I loved it.
Powers proves once again that Young Adult novels can be amazing and not feature 1. a chosen one and 2. a love triangle.
Full disclosure: I also LOVED Wilder Girls. I think I just love Power's voice and her amazing storytelling chops. Bodies is another winner and a perfect summer read. Perhaps one might consider skipping picking your own corn this year ;)
