"The Killing Jar" by Jennifer Bosworth

This was provided as an ARC to me from the publisher but the review is my own.

This is not for the reader who's looking for a quiet read. This is an original, creepy look at what can happen when a person fools themselves into making choices that not only hurt others but themselves. It's a new way of looking at stories about addiction and self loathing, pain and loss, the misunderstandings that happens between family, and the secrets that can cause repercussions further down the line. It is a woven web of ethereal potential dripping with a deadly resin. In other words, totally worth the late nights.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who did something so heinous that it has haunted her all her life. The act itself was horrible enough, the reason why is what marks Kenna as an abomination. Her decision has cost her the most important things in the world, her mother and her twin sister but what she does in order to rectify the consequences of that day in the woods will be what lead her to the secrets of who and what she truly is. In order to exist she must kill and there are others like who are willing to teach her about her powers but in the midst of this safe enclave lies the greatest danger of all to Kenna. Even among these kindred souls she is one of a kind and what must be done to capture the feeling of belonging and unity may cost her more than she ever realized.

Definitely worth the read, just make sure you're willing to turn off the lights after.
