A decent body horror story stretched over a poorly executed mystery frame. A mother desperate to have a baby, doctors who don't listen, and a husband who is just as bad. Anna is trying to have a baby via IFV when things mysteriously start to go sinisterly wrong. This was okay - but I couldn't stand the MC or really anyone in the novel. The ending felt bland. While I think the body horror was done well - that was about the only thing I was enjoying.
