5.0

The execution of this was everything. 

Was it disgusting and disturbing? Yes. Did I cringe at certain parts near the end? Yes. Was there gore and trauma on every page? Yes. 

But there was also heartbreak and hardship and raw human emotion. Fantastic read that I highly recommend. 

Check those trigger warnings!

Well that was disgusting. 

I’d seen this book being spoke about a lot on tiktok, but i didn’t actually know what the plot was, so i was rather curious to see what the hype was about and yeah, yikes. This was so disturbing in the best way. I physically recoiled whilst reading certain lines, and i’m gonna have some images burned into my brain for far too long. This definitely earns its title of extreme horror. 

I highly recommend checking trigger warnings and make sure you have a strong stomach before reading this

Definitely nasty, but well-written and unique too. So, so many TWs on this one. Emphasis on the extreme in extreme horror, proceed with caution.
