The knee screamed in colors all its own.
Sometimes a lesson, once it's learned, is a punishment.
You never know what type of girl a girl is.
The language and diction of the novel is often described as "pretentious," but I think that's a bit reductive. Ojeda is masterful throughout JAWBONE, and the language alone kept me glued to the page. The characters and the persistent suspense made this a highlight read of 2025 for me.

i quite enjoyed my read, mostly the end since i was really looking for the psychological-horror theme and the tw made me curious LOL
perhaps the first time i come accrocs a book where any kind of bodily fluids are heavily described.
the writing, the way things escalate are fairly interesting to witness! i was really looking forward to the cult setting and the “game” around it and i’m not disappointed…👀
perhaps it should have been better to put footnotes to explain the intentions behind the translation instead of putting everything at the end of the book. the translator's words were very insightful, it's a shame to only find out about it at the end when we could have had more details at the time of the events.
nevertheless, i think i enjoy weird writings where [queer] characters are each other’s obsession to the point of— well… no. no points. i like it tough. bloody. gloomy. i like when they’d rather hurt/kill themselves rather than disappointing the one they adore. i like when they’re flawed, so pathetic that only the person they yearn for is capable to understand them.
give me blood, bites, pain, scars in the name of adoration and i’ll be yours.
