Siphon by A.A. Medina
4.0
Thank you to A.A. Medina for providing me with a copy of Siphon in exchange for an honest review!
Sipon was advertised to me as ‘truly messed up’ & yes, that is what encouraged me to ask the author for a review copy. Messed up is my type of book. Although I enjoyed Siphon, this is not a book that I’d recommend to the faint of heart. A.A. Medina covers a lot of adult themes & Siphon is extremely disturbing.
Medina’s writing of Siphon made it very easy to visualize the setting & what’s going on. Which, in a way, could be bad — because, as mentioned, ~disturbing~. However, it really shows Medina’s writing strengths.
I’m going to be honest, I did go back & forth a lot with my feelings towards this book. Siphon is definitely a unique & very different story. & at times, I wasn’t 100% sure if I enjoyed it, but it was the ending that truly got me. As advertised, it was ‘truly messed up’ & if you’re up for some fun, fucked-up horror & aren’t really worried about triggers, I’d recommend Siphon.
