Evil evil evil. This book is so evil. Yes, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed reading from the confused, loyal, and empathetic perspective of Iris, especially when in contrast to her sharp, dangerous older sister, Grey. I heavily enjoyed the mystery of this book and liked how the author didn't try to pull one over on the audience, but rather delivered on the clues that she was setting up. I wish this book was longer and that both Tyler and Vivi had more central roles in the story, though it was nice to see how Vivi had changed in the end. Definitely the happiest ending we could have gotten, but the hopeful part of me was still left feeling a bit deflated. The horror-lover in me adored this story though, for all its gruesome parts.
RIP to Tyler, you were a fun character I wasn't expecting to love. Also I wonder if there is going to be second book because I can definitely see that happening with the interesting romantic tension between Iris and Tyler. Why didn't he pull away? How can she bring him back?
Definitely read if you have a sister and/or love the macabre. Excellent body horror, but be warned: you will be disgusted.

The Americanisms in the first few chapters of the book were distracting and should have been caught during the edit of a book set in England with English characters.
