Anyways, this is one of the first horror novels I read as an adult und the very first of this author. Everyone online seemed to be hyping this book up for its poetic prose and yup, it was well written. Deranged smut lovers will also get their fix here even though those scenes are kept rather short. Other than that, it was also interesting to see a book with an abundance of queerness, although it did contain some problematic tropes and languge regarding that.
Now onto the aspects that I really disliked unfortunately:
This book in general barely made me feel anything, there were a few cute moments between characters who are friends and about two genuinely scary ones that felt like well done
