It's wild. Went into this book blind except I knew it was intense and crazy and that's absolutely true. It's one of the best books I've read in a while. The writing is great and the characters are well rounded. Definitely had me squirming in my seat!erica_reads_things's review against another edition

THE BAD: I could sense a strong Stephen King influence, but the writing didn’t feel independent enough. Many of the animal abuse scenes felt completely unnecessary and added purely for shock value. The ending was rather underwhelming with a predictable ending. I was okay with the stereotyped characters as the plot was so engaging, But I was disappointed that the stereotypes wrote the story themselves.

Overall, this was an enjoyable read. I wasn’t really scared, more so just grossed out at some points. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
