CW: kidnapping, blood, violence, murder, bodily fluids, sexual content, rape, fatphobia, body shaming, incel nonsense (this part the author did really spot on, honestly. half a star for that. another half star for being short and the ending scene making me laugh in a good for her kind of way)

this is not extreme horror. this feels more like the author started writing a kidnapping erotica from the kidnappers pov, but then realised it was close to Halloween so wanted to throw in some gross scenes to hopefully make people scared. you occasionally get uncomfortable, and the last scenes made me laugh, but again, this isn't extreme horror. no matter what the synopsis says. It's just an erotica writer trying to be gross for the sake of being gross but kind of failing. imo, of course.

also the authors note on the back of this one is kind of hilarious: "this book is disgusting, and you probably shouldn't read it"

you were right. I probably shouldn't have read it, but mostly because it's just bad 🤷🏻‍♀️
