This book was written in the vein of a Rapunzel story, with the young girl, Kosa, living under her controlling mother’s rules. She is taught and warned never to step outside the shelters of their home area and to fear the darkness beyond their home. As a youngster, Kosa accepts whatever Mama says. But as Kosa gets older, her curiosity may save her or destroy her. You have to read the book to find out.

This book was amazing. I am still processing it days after reading it. I wish there was more, but in a good way. KOSA is an immersive, anxiety-inducing story. With threads of the classic fairy tale and vivid imagery, we are pulled into a horrific twist on an already creepy tale. The characters are so well portrayed that at times it’s easy to love/hate them, because they feel alive. I thoroughly enjoyed this haunting tale.

Enjoy the read!
