There was so much promise in this storyline and the first 1/3 was great. I was so intrigued by the horror and darkness of the plot and characters. I think it got lost somewhere in the middle and by the end I was losing interest and the ending was lackluster to the darkness of the beginning. It didn't need to be so long and by meandering the impact of the story was lost.
I will say however the author did a fabulous job with the levels of representation in this book. LGBTQIA and disability rep all throughout the book and woven so expertly into the story that the characters felt real and were well developed.
