I'm not rating it lower because of what I wished it was, but how to never really got to me in the end. Maybe it was the tone? I'm not sure. I can understand why people are into it. But I wouldn't call it "genuinely scary" like the blurbs tot. Outside of the first few scenes it's really not. And it doesn't have to be- it's just promoted as such

Moderate: Animal death and Cannibalism
In the first scene, a child's dead body is torn open by his mother and a piece of his lung is taken out. It is graphic, but is the most graphic the story will get. And not done with ill intention (it's complicated)gabriellerza's review against another edition

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.
