This is one of the worst books I’ve ever read. Not because it was bad but because it was so gross and detailed in a way that is just viscerally unnerving. Impressive writing but fucking hell.

gianna_lodato's review against another edition

I work in a hospital in a unit known for its gore; the kitten scene was just too much for me I couldn't really recover after that. You definitely need thick skin if you're trying to get through this.

If you are into horror I highly recommend this one. Atmosphere and story were there for me even listening to the audiobook, gave me chills a few times lol. Def go through the trigger warnings though as needed, the descriptions were detailed. Alternating POVs were really good here too.
