underwhelmingly mediocre. each story had a strong premise and each failed to deliver any kind of interesting, tense, or emotional conclusion. The first two were quite gross--i guess for the shock value?--but weren't scary. Just yucky.

Estoy impactada en el mejor de los sentidos. Normalmente no soy fan de los thrillers, pero algo me atrajo de esta lectura. Es ligera y rápida la forma de leerla, pero a ratos es tan pesada que si me tomé unos minutos.

Recomendada pero con la reserva que no es para los altamente sensibles.

This is a book. Very triggering and disgusting about a depraved lesbian relationship. After reading this you will look at Apple peelers, tape worms and meat very differently.
