I never knew where the plot was going next. Confusing, intriguing, different to anything else I’ve read.

This book was eerie and dark. The imagery of rotting and dead things was quite descriptive. The plot dragged a bit at times. Something still felt missing by the end of the book.

While there is no incest in this book

the main character has one line where she implies to her sister's boyfriend that she loves her as much as he does, which given all other descriptions of their relationship in this book, reads to me as incestuous. But also, I don't have siblings, so this line might have been meant entirely as sisters.

This book was so fantastic. I was in quite a reading rut before picking this up, and I feel thoroughly cured and refreshed now. I could hardly put this down, the plot was so compelling. Though this is not marketed as a mystery or a thriller, I found those aspects of the story to be very strong. The descriptive writing has described scents almost hitting you at the back of the throat as a reader, and the twists in the plot were awesome. I would definitely recommend this book if you like horror! Such an inventive and creative genre.
