All of the TWs.
This was not a 5 star read, but it was 5 stars for the vibes I needed today.
I think more than anything I'd say to approach this book as firmly under the 'horror' genre and not much else. I'm also curious to know, as someone who is only loosely aware of source material, where if any the parallels can be found. Aside from the single obvious. I'll have to bump that up my reading list this year.
Anyway, I read both this and book 2 today (which isn't on goodreads yet). The series didn't do anything I hadn't seen before but sometimes I like to see a vengeance plot succeed when it's earned. And this was earned.
