Written in a horrific but beautiful prose. The use of language keeps your brain working overdrive to figure out what’s happening. I didn’t put this book down once I’d started it!
Due to personal preference, the book didn’t scare me. It’s certainly gross, awfully descriptive, and tense, but I fear the Big Bad is introduced too soon which dampened any sense of terror I may have felt. Otherwise a book I would recommend any fans of horror in general should read!
