![]() ![]() Ania Ahlborn takes her time building the characters and the setting, using her skill as a writer to slowly crank the tension. Jude’s disappearance, while echoing a case from years past, is considered to be an isolated incident. The Devil Crept In is a slow burn novel. Weirder still is the fact that nobody in town thinks it odd, people just don’t get pets in town anymore. Animals go missing, not one or two, but all animals not confined to a cage. Stevie, a boy troubled with mental illness, a father who walked out on him, an abusive stepfather and a mother complicit in the abuse must now also confront the disappearance of his best friend and cousin, Jude Brighton. Like the stray animals fleeing to the woods of Deer Valley, I fled to The Devil Crept In. ![]() The Devil Crept In is my first Ania Ahlborn book, and it sure as hell won't be my last. Something about this book has been calling me, I don’t know why. As usual, I’m late to the party, but I showed up, I’m finally here. ![]()
