Hm. Interesting read, for sure. Also compelling, especially in the aspects of grief and child loss, plus the intricacies of relationships (both familial and romantic/sexual). 

Did not really expect a lot of the sexual aspects written? Also don’t know that these inclusions did much for the story for me??

The shift to M’s POV was probably the strongest part written; Lena’s part dragged on for me, and so did half of Joseph’s. The pacing was definitely a bit strange with the big time jump that wasn’t really explained or prompted.

Anything in the 3 star range felt harsh. 4 stars, I suppose, though I can see how people didn’t like this book and rated it lower. I do wish I liked it more. 

Also!!! I don’t think the horror is heavy in this book; I found it mild, in terms of the fact that one of the characters is Literally A Monster.

I was obsessively pining after this book and I’m so happy I finally got to read it, it lived up to the hype and I can’t wait to read it again.
