The family was not compelling, the big reveal was disappointing, the setting was boring.

5.0

A chilling book about generational trauma, with horrifying supernatural elements. Was on the edge of my seat the entire time, finishing it in two sittings because I had to know what happened next.

Artfully explored the cycle of generational trauma through a scary and gory lens. The descriptions of the demon were  visceral and terrifying, with the possessed child resulting in a bleak ending of another repetition of this dark cycle

. Absolutely recommend for lovers of supernatural horror or beginners to the genre like me.

Ania Ahlborn never disappoints, however, I have SO many questions and was left wanting so much more from Seed.

I read a lot of extreme horror and thrillers, and very few make me feel as uncomfortable as this one did. Maybe that's because I have children around the same age as Abby and Charlie who say creepy shit all the time, but regardless, this book spooked the heck out of me. 

An unreliable MC, scary kids, beautiful descriptions of New Orleans and its general vibe (one of my favorite places in the world) and a little bit of "hey there demon, it's me, ya boy", Seed was an engaging read with some horrific details that I won't soon forget.
