I started off the new year with a horror fiction suspense read. And OMG 🤯🤯🤯!! I just finished this audiobook because I couldn’t get enough or listen fast enough. Tender is the Flesh grabs you from the get go and you are sucked in almost immediately. This is not for you if you easily get grossed out, descriptions can be graphic, violent and just plain twisted. The ending though 😱🤯🫢.

Whew…

Honestly I have no words. It was easy to read but hard to get through. Very heavy topics and left me feeling indifferent and sad from different angles. 

I know this review is so vague but I was left pretty speechless. 

4 stars to the book because the author did keep me intrigued yet disgusted the entire read.
