So I did mostly enjoy Woom, I think. There were 100% a couple of absolutely toe curling moments, but, I think I may have been reading too much splatter punk recently because nothing came as *super* shocking. 

There was a slight twist (more of a reveal) that worked really well, but I did find a fair few of the stories to be a little predictable. 

Also shout out to Shyla, the plus sized prostitute who is apparently colour blind cause girl those flags you were missing? They were red as heck yo

What an utterly stupid piece of trash. Bending and twisting the female anatomy to fit his sick imagination. The whole time I was reading, I wasn't disgusted by the gore, but by the stupidity of the scenes. This book was clearly written by a man who never touched a woman. He has no idea about the difference between a vagina and uterus. The "plot" made me cringe so hard that I was grinding my teeth. This is not horror. It's an abomination of a male fantasy.
