That was nuts! Very dark, very gory, very fun to read. I loved that it explored more layered themes of grief for loved ones, your past, and your home, but I also loved that it was just very spooky horror. The setting was perfect, and the audiobook narration definitely helped. I love horror novels (and many other stories) that feature old women as the main character, it made for a real depth in her character which then deepened her relationship with the sea creature. It was like pretty romantic?? Which was unexpected but I loved it. Definitely a solid and quick read perfect for Halloween! Eat the rich (literally and in the most gruesome way possible, please)!
