Not Good for Maidens by Tori Bovalino

dark emotional tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.5

I have such bad luck choosing horror books, I always seem to choose the gory ones. Aside from the mutilation and human eating, the romantic couple didn’t click. Their relationship was too disconnected for me 🤷🏽‍♀️ 

As for Lou, her character also fell flat. Her ‘unbelonging’ and her random ‘negotiating skills’ weren’t fleshed out enough to give her character depth. The ending was lackluster.

Do not recommend 👎🏼
