Kindred was incredible, I truly don’t think there are words to describe it. This is instantly a new favorite, and I managed to finish the whole book in one sitting. It was engaging and horrifying, and I think this is a book that everybody needs to read. The relationship dynamics between all the characters were so in depth and fascinating, and the progression that Dana has throughout the story is so well done. I can’t wait to read more books by this author.
