This story was a bit slow to start, but it made the character development strong. I was definitely creeped out reading this, and it didn't take me too long to somewhat figure out what was going on. It was enjoyable, but kinda graphic so be careful.
I've decided I dislike the narrator/MC. She was a wreck of a person who made terrible decisions in the past and toward the end where she acted like she had no self preservation... I'll leave it at that so I won't spoil anything. I plan on reading more Rachel Harrison soon :)
Graphic: Blood
Moderate: Violence, Vomit, Medical content, and Cannibalism
Minor: Cancer and Abandonment
