I was expecting to be shivering under my blankets reading this one. But I was greatly disappointed. Can this even be classified as horror? The book was not scary at all, it more so focused on grief, loss, and trauma. It honestly was boring and super slow 😕

A dark book that takes you down an inevitable path that you don’t want to go down - much like the protagonist. A brilliant book.

I was hoping for more zombie cats. I mean, one zombie cat is good, but more would be better.
