challenging dark mysterious slow-paced

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.

This book was seriously twisted. Please check trigger warnings, because there are a lot. It was not at all what I expected. I’ve never read a horror, but this one felt more horror than thriller to me. There were plenty of points where the experiences were so graphic my stomach turned and I wondered why on earth I was still listening. 

I enjoyed the narration. She did a good job making us feel the main character’s feelings and reactions to all the things that happen to her. 

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for my ALC of this book.

Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine was an intense ride! This book was a slower burn that successfully built up tensions surrounding pregnancy, the medical system, relationships, fame, and conspiracies. It was really hard to put down at times (or pause, because I read the audiobook lol). I frequently found myself surprised, horrified, creeped out, and eager to figure out how the story would end. And I was not disappointed! Not only is the story well-written and captivating, the narrator (Hillary Huber) did a wonderful job as well. 4.75 / 5.00 stars!

Thank you to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review an ARC of Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine. My comments are an independent, honest review.
