A short novella that takes a winding path of Stepford Wives-esque antics before you get to the point: this is a retelling of Genesis, Adam and Eve before Eve. I don't mind the feminist take on it. But the reveal was kinda disappointing, made the ending predictable when you're following Sophia, not Eve. Before that though, it's really interesting with the pretty suburb setting, finding body parts in your house and yard. Too bad it didn't stick the landing.Moderate: Murder, Gore, and Sexism
