Amazing book! Went in expecting a dark, scary book- got a dark scary book. Characters are SO well developed and you leave feeling extremely connected to them all. The story has so many twists and turns and it was so entertaining to read. Many moments were cringeworthy- which I look for in a horror book- so I loved it.

3.5

the first 100 pages are incredibly boring and felt like i was supposed to feel for this rich beautiful white woman. there are also a lot more twists throughout the book than at the end which leaves the reader kinda wanting more? HOWEVER once we get past that it’s quite captivating. it is very dark and graphic (possibly past the extent we’d expect) so watch out for that but i wasn’t able to put it down. read at your own risk bc honestly incredibly disgusting and unsettling
