Reviews with content warning for Addiction - Woom

Oh, this was disgusting...

And I loved every word. Pretty sure the stories told in Woom will stick with me for the rest of my life. This is not for the faint of heart, but if you have the stomach, it is a tale of love and self discovery unlike any I've ever read.

Bless you, Shyla.

Within the first few pages into this book, I was 95% sure I knew what was going to happen, and for the most part I was correct. Typically, I find that predictability to be incredibly boring, but this format kept me reading, wondering just what was going on beneath the surface.

I pieced it together just moments before the book announced it and that, friends, is what amazed me. I'd had no clue that that was where it would end up, and even those closing few sentences blew my mind. Yes, I'd predicted the feature presentation (honestly you'd have to be pretty daft to miss it), but that one moment wasn't what the book was about and I loved it.

It's wonderfully written, and I really appreciated the insight at the end into how this book even came about.

Room 6 has seen many many a horror in its day. And as predictable as the ending is, it leaves you waiting for the room to see that one more act of violence. I was just sitting there waiting for her to realize his true intent the whole time. The stories do seem a bit shock for shock's sake, but it's an engaging and short enough read that's that's not too bad a thing. Not for the weak stomached, but that comes with the genre.

Super fast-paced book. I could see the “twist” coming a mile away, but that didn’t make it less enjoyable. Lots of reviews talk about how nauseatingly gory it is; it was certainly graphic, but
nothing worse than a Saw film.
