4.5

A short gruesome novella about toxic parents, abuse, and mother-daughter resentment. This one absolutely terrified me, and though you could see where it was going I still found it disturbing. This book is so short but quick paced and addictive. Because it is rather short I don’t want to give too much away.  This was a perfect read for me until the end. The pacing was perfect the whole book until the ending which was abrupt, predictable, and a little too bleak for me. Other than that I loved this
