📖 Best Qoutes From The Book 📖
"I didn't feel guilty enough for incarceratation."
"Could I have done anything differently?"
"See her for what she was."
"All I can think of was the blood that was in the boot."
"Love is not a weed. It can not grow where it pleas."
"She has her knife with her. She carries it like most women carry tampons.'
"She has the body of a vixen. Of a succubus."
"These days you look at me like a monster."
"Days ago we gave the man to the sea. And her she is... dancing"
📕 Mini Review 📕
The main character, Korede gets a call from her sister Ayoola that she has committed a crime and needs help. This story follows a choice that has ripples affects that begin to build as a body count. My heart felt for Korede who simply wanted to help her sister, but as the faces of the men begin to multiply and her sister's stories begin to become less and less reliable... we as the reader must ask ourselves between the poetic words and the haunting imagery what is right and what is wrong between these pages. I can't reccomend this dark story enough, please check for trigger warnings prior to reading.
