Loved it! The story was interesting from the start and got very tense. I had to stop myself from trying to read ahead because I just needed to know what was going to happen. 

There are some events that might be triggering for some people!

A bit slow at the beginning, but it sets itself up well and when everything comes together it's very tense and unsettling.

Well-written and compelling, but I don’t think I have the stomach for horror novels, especially not ones so woven with mushrooms, mold, and fungi. If I’d known I probably wouldn’t have picked it up, but I stuck around for Noemí because she was awesome and I wanted to see how it ended
