Apparently I added this to my TBR and then completely forgot about it because I had no idea what to expect when I picked it up. I loved how uncertain things felt - Elliott created a great atmosphere that kept me guessing right until the end. While the post-partum horror genre is surprisingly popular, (think Rosemary's Baby), Elliott managed to create a narrative that felt new and unique. My only real critique of the book is that the end felt rushed, and I'm still not sure whether or not that was intentional. Regardless, this was a solid read that I read in a sitting and I'm excited to read more from Elliott.
