Miller why were you so stupid bestie? Seriously, don't give narcissistic folks second chances, they'll never deserve it. This was fucked, but it got me out of my 2 month reading slump, so I appreciate out of this story.

It was well written and the perfect length, but man was Miller an idiot. Poor Florence not knowing what could have happened to her fiance. Or maybe she rescues Miller and gives Sylvie what's coming to her.

A chilling novella focusing on an extremely toxic mother-daughter relationship.

For just over 90 pages there were so many scenes that had me creeped out! The author has done a great job at characterisation.

The isolated setting adds to the novella and the sense of being locked in.

Definitely read if you're in the mood for a short (but creepy) horror novella!
