Summary from Goodreads:
A funeral. A heist. A desperate mission.
When Dymitr is called back to the old country for the empty night, a funeral rite intended to keep evil at bay, it's the perfect opportunity for him to get his hands on his family's most guarded relic—a book of curses that could satisfy the debt he owes legendary witch Baba Jaga. But first he'll have to survive a night with his dangerous, monster-hunting kin.
As the sun sets, the line between enemies and allies becomes razor-thin, and Dymitr’s new loyalties are pushed to their breaking point.
Family gatherings can be brutal. Dymitr’s might just be fatal.
Review:
To Clutch a Razor by Veronica Roth is a sharp, thought provoking story that balances moral tension with fast-paced plotting. Roth builds a world where every choice carries weight, and the protagonist’s struggles with survival, power, and humanity kept me hooked. The narrative is both intimate and unsettling, with questions of justice and personal sacrifice woven throughout. At times, the pacing felt a little uneven, and I wished for deeper exploration of some secondary characters, but overall, it was an engrossing read that lingers after the final page. A solid 4 stars for its intensity, atmosphere, and the way Roth makes you wrestle with what you’d do in the same situation.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.
