Holy FUCK this was crazy. Ward’s writing is as visceral and beautiful as ever. There is nothing I love more than a horror novel that prompts me to reread previous chapters constantly

idk… more of a review to come but this is my least favorite out of ward’s novels. maybe a 2.5. too ambitious, drawn out, took itself a little too seriously. parts of this had me wondering if it was trying to be over the top? i don’t think it was. i did have fun reading this book until the big twists started. i can take a few twists but the end was just Full of them. i know that this is what happens in a catriona ward book, but it was just a lot for really no reason. what was with the gay stuff being taken back

Definitely a mindbending story! It was rather slow at the beginning and not what i was expecting, but the end was so twisted and the concept very unique. Reminded me a bit of “If we were villains” at some points.
