Hello readers and welcome back! This week we are going to be talking about Some Quiet Place by Kelsey Sutton.
Elizabeth Caldwell doesn’t feel emotions, but she does see them in human form. They come and go as they are needed with other people’s emotions. All emotions but Fear have given up on her. Fear is determined to figure out why Elizabeth is this way and he is going to make her feel.
There is something strange about Elizabeth, other than not feeling anything, of course, Elizabeth’s dreams are haunted by a boy and girl. The girl is so lost in grief over the dead or dying boy that she screams into the sky. Why does Elizabeth keep having this dream? Where did it come from? Why can she see emotions when no one else can?
During all of this, Elizabeth is just trying to get through high school. She is trying to avoid getting in trouble at home where her father beats her, her mother hates her, and her brother ignores everything. But, most importantly, Elizabeth just wants to be left alone.
Elizabeth’s life takes a turn for the worse when a dark presence starts stalking her life. Even the emotions are afraid. What is stalking her and what does it want with a slightly abnormal girl like Elizabeth? Elizabeth’s life may depend on finding the answers and she may not be able to count on Fear to help her. There is more to her than meets the eye.
Kelsey Sutton takes us on an emotional ride in this novel, all puns intended. That’s all for this week. Check in next week for more, and happy reading everyone!
