I really enjoyed this book with the exception of the fact that it ends up being three semi related stories with very little story wrap up to tie them together.
It’s weird, it’s super gross, what the heckkkkkkk. So creative, so disgusting.

geez, WTF did I just read...
I haven't read a lot of body horror stuff, but I loved this. If this is your thing, you'll like it.
I just reviewed Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A. Snyder. #NetGalley

What was the last book that you finished and just had you saying “WOW”?
THIS ONE!!!
A virus tears across the globe, transforming its victims in nightmarish ways. As the world collapses, dark forces pull a small group of women together.
This one is told in three interwoven parts:
Erin, once quiet and closeted, acquires an appetite for a woman and her brain. Why does forbidden fruit taste so good?
Savannah, a professional BDSM switch, discovers a new turn-on: committing brutal murders for her eldritch masters.
Mareva, plagued with chronic tumors, is too horrified to acknowledge her divine role in the coming apocalypse, and as her growths multiply, so too does her desperation.
I am still not entirely sure what I read but my gosh it sure worked and well. This was horror, sci-fi, fantasy, dystopian, and honestly no clue but amazingness. I just don’t think I have the right words to describe how twisted and delightful this book is. Its like a train wreck, not that it is horrible, but that you can’t take your eyes away from the page. Sure, there were some politics in this book (mask wearing under nose mentions, IUD being forced on some but no vasectomies, the one black person dying…) but the book didn’t dwell on these things, and I think its hard to write a book about a virus without touching on some of these subjects. I will be giving this book one 5 stars because I cannot stop thinking about it!
Check out this fantastic ride of a book on Feb 21st!

This was a super gory and bizarre horror story. The Eldritch monsters were interesting but I felt like it used a lot of modern or TikTok slang that really took me out of it at some points. The audio was good
