This was the first book I read by Grady Hendrix and I heard from nothing but endless praise for his writing style from friends..I’m in the camp now that believes that.
There is some truly dark and sinister things that occur in this book. But it’s not totally hopeless there is a sense of uplifting with these women that just start a book club of mainly murder reads where they create a bond with each other.
And eventually find themselves in a real life horror situation.

For someone that has never read adult horror before this is a great book to try-out the genre. The ending was a bit gory and there were a few parts with creepy crawlers that made my skin crawl, but other than that this book was entertaining and even funny quite a bit.
