I had extremely low expectations for this book because I've been having the *worst* luck with books I find through tiktok, but I'm happy to say this book is the outlier.

This book was fast-paced, despite its dark and gory contents. I couldn't see the major twist coming, so that's also good. I also liked that the story didn't have a cookie-cutter ending. This is the type of book that leaves you on the edge of your seat. While I wouldn't say the story was necessarily scary it is anxiety-inducing enough to be compared to a blockbuster horror movie. 

For obvious reasons I don't think I would want to re-read this, but I definitely want to read more from this author.

I was genuinely surprised by the way this book was written. Unlike a lot of thrillers, I found this one to be beautifully written, focusing more in depth on the characters and their feelings. It was dark, gore, disgusting, but I couldn’t put it down. It’s the type of book where you love to hate the characters. The end was chef kiss
