dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

5.0

I read this book in pretty much one sitting and it was absolutely wild. I looked into body horror books after loving a few other body horrors and this book kept coming up and it was incredible. This book is disturbing and gruesome and definitely not for the faint of heart but I loved ever second of it and didn’t want to put it down.
