Sick and twisted. Lots of body horror and gore. Many trigger warnings. Twist at the end slightly ruined it for me but still fun.

Well, that was definitely gross, as expected. Having some history on her family, upbringing etc is good but I think it went on longer than was actually necessary.

Well that was a read...

Sick, vile, horrifically descriptive, immensely fucked up and completely believable so of course I loved it! 

It lost a star because for fuck sakes Vera, really? For $40?!

horrible! drivel literature!

also, as if the plot weren’t deranged enough, the writing is awful! it’s as though he used a thesaurus for every other word.
