5.0

Even though a lot of the plot is fairly obvious I still loved this book, the pacing was good, the sci-fi elements were very approachable yet interesting. Though the characters weren’t really special in any way they still enjoyable to read about. Was super excited every time I picked it up to find out what happened next even when I had a good idea about what was going to happen. Definitely suggest this to horror fans especially those who love sci-fi.

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?

Major creep factor. Don’t expect all the answers then you’ll be in for a enjoyable ride. Brilliant writing that keeps you guessing
