Wow. Just… wow. Lynnette has to be one of the worst protagonists ever, and it’s like girl, I get it, but I did not expect to be subject to it. She was just so insufferable. Like cracked, in every sense of the word. It dragged on forever, and I don’t even like horror but a YouTuber recommended it (last time I listen to influencers /hj) but man. The literal only reason it’s not a 1 star rating is for the sole fact that I was gagged when the killer was revealed. I feel like I should’ve seen Skye coming cause when Lynnette thought it was the doctor I was like she’s just batshit crazy. I expected it even LESS when Stephanie was in on it? And then the stupid shit at the end where they tried to help her? Like okay damn maybe you all should’ve been in a pack, actually. (I’m kidding) I’m just glad this book is done and over with. Only reason I didn't DNF is because I’m stubborn, but it literally took me a goddamn year to get through this shit.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, and Blood
Minor: Gun violence, Panic attacks/disorders, Cannibalism, and Fire/Fire injury
