Wow. This book had me gripped from the very first chapter! The only time I stopped reading this was when it got dark and I was spooked (I’m a bit of a chicken)! The suspense was amazing, the ending was amazing, the plot and overall idea behind the story was amazing! The events and every gruesome detail was described in a way that had my stomach churning and my brain wanting more! The gore, the tension and the fast-paced action had me captivated and I absolutely devoured this book! Highly recommend for all horror lovers.

It’s a gore-fest with body horror, which I’m fine with, and the story concept wasn’t bad. I don’t think it was quite developed enough - there are a lot of places this concept could have gone that I think could have been more interesting. There is a major plot point that I think wasn’t explained well. It’s an acceptable read if you’re into body horror and gore, but I definitely don’t consider this book to be scary.

Oh hell, this was a ride from start to finish. Sci-fi, horror, emotional damage. I couldn't put it down and blazed through in one day. 


Unreliable narrator at it's finest. You can't trust any of your senses in this and after every twist is a new twist! 


And somehow, this book managed a few jump scares. How is that even possible?
