This never quite clicked for me. The characters, even the narrator Anna, aren’t very well-developed. I appreciate the message but wanted a more satisfying story and ending.

challenging dark mysterious slow-paced

3.5

It took a while to really get me, but when it did I was thrilled. I came up with various theories as I read, but the unravelling of the plot twists still left me surprised - it's really not as predictable as it might initially appear to be.

I love a good demonic pregnancy tale-except when the author is incredibly repetitive. The amount of times that the author describes the feeling of someones hand touching the FMC, or the "blinding, white light" pain, is too much. There is also a major-ish plot hole? I did not like the ending either, but I am SO excited to watch this season of American Horror Story.
