Told as a horror novel, Clark dives into how difficult it is to leave a mark on the world as a woman. Following the internal monologue of a diabolical narcissist on her rampage to make a mark, Clark leaves a heavy imagery underneath on the struggle to break from gender norms as a woman without being as brutal and vicious as the opposite sex. 
A truly wild read. It won’t be for everyone, but I think it’s worth the read.

You know when you read something that is so utterly confusing but also never fails to amaze you at the same time? That is this book for me. The constant battle between wanting to believe that Irina has done the things she says she has and also wanting it all to be in her head is one that remains unsolved right up to the end and yet also I am okay with not knowing the truth?? V weird and yet v intriguing, I was hooked from start to finish!

This is a super dark story that I loved not only because it's from and mentions my hometown but because of the twists and turns and unreliability in the narrative. You think things couldn't get any darker, any more deeper and it just does.
