The first chapter was the most disturbing in my opinion because you can already tell what's going to happen...but during the few others before the ending you are weirdly put at ease. It's disgustingly disturbing and i would definitely recommend it to the people who appreciate the genre.

Disturbingly dark. Not at all what I expected — but heinous nonetheless. This nontraditional tale of horror will definitely fuck up your brain.

Perhaps I've read too many manhwas and mangas with far more shock value than this, but somehow it made me feel increasingly dirty than creeped out. Major content warnings are provided by the author at the outset. Will be tagging them here as well.

I had to go back and add another star after simmering with this book for a little bit! I couldn’t put this book down. I was so intrigued and disturbed and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I can’t wait to recommend this to everyone!

CW / TW that isnt in Storygraph list : Descriptive scene of a minor engaging in sexual behavior

I honestly don't know how to rate this. I loved the characters and found myself connecting to them somehow, finding the whole

rebirthing

thing to be strangely therapeutic in a sense. However, the complete lack of respect Angel shows at the end for Shyla made me frown, despite knowing it was not out of character. As well, the n word having made an appearance twice was also very offputting. It was so out of place, I can't imagine why Ralston chose to add it in the first place. It's a shame, as it was a very lovely story otherwise.
