Very creepy! The premise is surprising and unsettling, but the execution really emphasizes the horror and mystery. Don't read any summaries. Go in cold, and let the author tell the story.
A fabulous novella, which crafts a really unique and terrifying concept better than some full length novels do. Tade Thompson's writing is addictive.
What a mood this book had! What an atmosphere, I loved it!
Not sure what happened at some parts cause this is not in-your-face-explaining-everything kind of story, but I don't mind that at all! It's all there, I just have to reread it again to properly figure out everything and I like that a lot.
It had a really really good mixture of horror and reminding us how young the main character is.

This was weird, short and so good!
Molly is attacked, again and again, all through out her childhood. All by kids that look like her, and as she age, they age. Which of course was so very interesting and I needed to know why. Yes this novella was so strange.
All through out good, well written and intriguing. The end did loose some steam, but endings are hard, and this one was very open too.

This one starts off with so much potential. It is a morbid but fascinating journey through a girls life as she ages but suffers from a condition in which her blood makes copies of her that want to kill her. Fun times when puberty hits.
Unfortunately this story goes off the rails at the end. It felt like the author was in the middle of a good story and realized their page count was up so they just quickly jotted something down that really just didn't make much sense. It is a shame as this had so much potential if the ending could have been done well.

I bought this early on in pandemic one of many offerings on discount. Having struggled with Rosewater by same author this languished on the bottom of my eTBR till now.
I really enjoyed this. Startling, creepy with lots left to think upon.
I have follow up story ready to go straight away not something that I usually do.

Creative story and well crafted. This one messes with your head a bit. I could see the end twist coming but the concept and the story still made it a solid read.
Read this for the PopSugar Reading Challenge 2024 - "a horror book by a BIPOC author".
I'm not usually a fan of horror so wanted to get this prompt done early for the reading challenge. It was interesting.
