Wow great book but really messed up. I love how detailed the book is about the disease and how it affects the kids what happens to their body each time they die. I kinda learned something new about the human body. It’s sad that the characters went from normal to deranged and homicidal. Parents will do anything for their kids. Anything.

An apocalyptic horror where every child on earth dies suddenly, only to come back in need of blood to stay alive.
 
This book was quite the disturbing read. The narrative of “how far will parents truly go to protect their children” was intriguing and truly horrific in the context of this book. A fast paced, gripping horror that was graphic and unsettling, definitely a change of pace from what I have been reading recently. This book was an excellent literary horror with a unique twist on the traditional vampire narrative.

Suffer the Children was captivating and kept me wanting to read more. It was a good segway into reading more horror novels, but I would not recommend this to everyone due to the graphic nature and content of the book.
