I really enjoyed this read. It seems like horror with a touch of sarcasm and tongue in cheek humor is a favorite of mine. The real horror wasn’t in the body gore (though there was a good amount of it) but in the gaslighting and claustrophobia in each marriage. Carter made me want to find a way to rip pages out of my e-book. I was thoroughly and deliciously unsettled the entire time I read. Shoutout to Blue for being subtly horrifying, and to Slick for being incredible. A great read.
