Skilfully written and absolutely gutting. I’ve been thinking about it for over a month now and I don’t think I’m going to stop anytime soon

Started and finished date - 22.02.25 to 24.03.25.
My rating - Three Stars.
I have really mixed feeling about this book and I did enjoyed this book but I didnt love it also the cover of book was okay. Both the paced of plot was and the writing was okay. The atmosphere was pretty good and the ending of book was okay. I mixed feeling about the characters and I would have them to flash out bit.

Started well but went downhill. A very interesting premise with great potential but doesn't quite deliver.

This was excellent. Really well written, really unusual, challenging, compelling...

It was more horror than sci-fi which really isn’t my thing so although it was great, and I loved the writing & characters, I was happy to be finished.

Highly recommended if you like a little horror in your near-future speculative fiction.

I didn't anticipate how vulgar this would be right from the jump. Hoped it would get better. Got much worse.
