What a...strange book lol. Was it good? Sort of? Did it keep me reading and wanting to know where the hell this was going? Yes, it sure did. Very strange twists and things happening in the very last 2 chapters felt way more done for the pure shock of the twist than something that actually makes sense. But! It was still an entertaining read and kept me hooked, so it was good for that!

I have to say, when I started this book, I wasn’t really feeling it. I was half expecting to DNF it before the halfway point because lots of stuff what happening but I couldn’t see how it was all linked up. 

 

However, as I approached the halfway point I raced through the rest of it. I had so many questions that needed answering that it made me want to finish it. 

 

It took me up to about 3/4 of the way through the book to figure out what was going on. I had that sudden moment of realisation where all the little things that had been mentioned now made sense. I clearly didn’t know exactly what was going on as that last reveal really spun the whole plot around to something I was not expecting at all. Literally, my notes said “Oh no, that didn’t go where I expected it to. That’s so twisted.” 

 

I found it to be really weird and creepy, especially the last couple of chapters. However, with the unexpected grossness to the plot, I’m not sure how much I actually enjoyed it. 

 

Out of all of Feeney’s books that I’ve read so far, this is definitely not a favourite.
