nightwish's review
3.5
Ik dacht dat dit horror was, maar vond het meer beetje bovennatuurlijk dan echt horror. Er zaten wel nare stukjes in (alles met de maden bijv), maar verder niet. ook draaide het minder om het horrorverhaal dan om de relatie tussen moeder en dochter en alle nare dingen die beide hebben meegemaakt.

I don't really cry with books but this one managed to get out some tears. I would definitely give this 6 stars if possible. I also wanted to give credit to this book, I'm only a novice in the horror genre and of course that could play a big part in it, but this is the first book to properly creep me out and make me not want to read it at night (although I still did because it was so good!)

There was no need for this book to be as long as it is and still have such obvious “twists.” It started out so promising but the pacing and the length just completely lost me.

Delicious Monsters is a haunted house “I see dead people,” tale with a twist more terrifying and serious then any supernatural ghost. Liselle Sambury writes with dark humor, suspense and mystery that will keep you guessing. Also you will never touch your scalp the same way after reading this. Yes it’s out of context, it’s also true.

A beautiful, incredible book. Mind the content notes up front, this one doesn't play around, but it comes back around to such a perfect ending. Liselle Sambury is an automatic read for me, no questions asked.
