It's a little slower than I would have liked, but I read this in chunks as my life was busy and I always enjoyed returning. The horror, the blood, the gore, the creatures and ancient beings, this book has it all. If the cover and title grab your attention like they did mine, it lives up to its promise and then some.

*SPOILERS*
The things I liked
- Great prose
- Absolutely feral main character
- Lots of great elements that kept me intrigued
- Very good attention to detail, I could visualize the story unfold in my head very vividly
Things I didn’t like
- The pacing was a bit rough in some areas but not unbearable.
- I found it weird how some details are brought up and never addressed again. For ex, it’s mentioned that Laure had talked to the police after finding Joséphine yet this is never brought up again although it seems important
- I also feel like Joséphine died too early and I think she could have been utilized a little longer. It felt like she was set up to play a bigger role imo
Overall an awesome debut. I did enjoy reading very much and I will definitely read the sequel !

There were some pacing issues but my biggest critique is that I wish Laure would have gone darker at the end. She had to suffer so much racism and classism, and in the end
