It’s very difficult to accomplish a jump scare in writing. Still, Unfixed managed to jump-scare me at least 4 separate times without even trying to be a thriller. This book kept me riveted to the pages and to the twisted fates of each broken, beloved character I met.
Unfixed is indeed “somewhere circus” from beginning to end. The effortless balance between past and present greatly resembles the balance between the three rings of a circus. The present feels like a video game, walking you through each room and gathering clues to unravel the mystery. The past pulls you in as though you’ve entered another dimension. With a winding narrative that often hangs somewhere between twisted fairytales like Pinocchio and dark whimsy such as Tim Burton, “Unfixed” is sure to not only delight you, but keep you on the edge of your seat.
