First I'd like to say that this is nowhere near a horror novel. I would probably characterize it as a sci-fi thriller novel. Although it doesn't quite deliver on the "scary" it is creepy and delivers on the blood and gore.

I do think the pacing is a bit slow in the beginning, but does pick up towards the end. The reader is also forced to be in the characters position of figuring out what is real and what is a hallucination. Of course, the characters are unlikeable in the sense of their actions in the novel, but their also very nuanced. It's up the interpretation of the readers to decide if the ending was right or not.

Wow. This book had me gripped from the very first chapter! The only time I stopped reading this was when it got dark and I was spooked (I’m a bit of a chicken)! The suspense was amazing, the ending was amazing, the plot and overall idea behind the story was amazing! The events and every gruesome detail was described in a way that had my stomach churning and my brain wanting more! The gore, the tension and the fast-paced action had me captivated and I absolutely devoured this book! Highly recommend for all horror lovers.

This was the horror book I’d been looking for that was delivering all the creepy and horrific details of my dreams. If you’re looking to be scared and freaked out at the same time, pick this one!

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.
