New Review – “You Can’t Take It With You” by Marcus Hawke

“You Can’t Take It With You” by Marcus Hawke follows Montgomery Nolan, a wealthy 90-year-old who has found a way to avoid dying. I mean, there’s no sense in dying because you really can’t take it with you, right?

Thank you to the author, Marcus Hawke, for the gifted physical ARC copy for review purposes. All opinions expressed here are my own.

The first thing that attracted me to the novel was the cover. I mean, look at that gorgeous cover and tell me you don’t want to read it! Okay, maybe it’s not for everyone, but horror readers will certainly understand my attraction to it.  

This story starts by exploring Montgomery Nolan’s life up to the present. It’s beautifully written, enjoyable, and allows the reader to grasp who this person truly is, albeit a little slowly.

The story then picks up, and not only does it center around vampires, but you also get a firsthand view from the main character. From the grotesque thirst for human blood to spicy sex scenes, this one fulfills all of one’s basic primal needs. It’s downright exciting, okay?

But there’s a deeper message: Is the grass really greener on the other side? At what price do you pay for greener grass?

This vampire horror is fast-paced and set in NYC during Christmas, making it your next go-to holiday horror read. “You Can’t Take It With You” by Marcus Hawke will be widely available on November 26, 2024.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
