5.0

one of the best written horror novels i’ve ever laid eyes on. triana’s prose absolutely sings, and there are scenes in this book that, while incredibly disgusting and violent, are described so beautifully. i also just love his willingness to feature an unrepentantly vile man character — lori suuuuucks, and yet i was totally invested in her journey and wanted to see where she’d end up next. just an absolute gem of a book.

the main character is revealed to have molested her younger brother throughout their childhood. no punches are pulled — much is alluded to, but there’s a fair bit of graphic depiction of the abuse.
