Swamp Thing by Maggie Stiefvater officially releases next week! If you’ve been following along, I’ve posted excerpts for the past two weeks (you can find them here and here). This will be my final Swamp Thing Countdown before posting my official review later this week. I can’t wait for you all to pick up this fantastic book. Hopefully, this final excerpt will entice you to pick up the book when it comes out next week!
Here’s the summary again, in case you missed it:
Twins Alec and Walker Holland have a reputation around town. One is quiet and the other is the life of any party, but they are inseparable. For their last summer before college, the two leave the city to live with their rural cousins, where they find that the swamp holds far darker depths than they could have imagined.
While Walker carves their names into the new social scene, Alec recedes into a summer school laboratory, because he brought something from home on their trip—it’s an experiment that will soon consume him. This season, both brothers must confront truths, ancient and familial, and as their lives diverge, tensions increase and dormant memories claw to the surface.
Honestly, this sounds like the perfect October read, right? DC sent me a free copy in exchange for review, which I’ll be posting later this week!
