I was genuinely really shocked by the ending and did not see it coming at all. It was enjoyable but the writing style is not my favorite. It’s a bit overly descriptive with simple sentences.

There is a very graphic description of birth gone wrong as well as child abuse. But the child abuse depicted at the beginning does not last the entire book and the birth takes only one chapter

mysterious tense

3.5

 I have mixed feelings about this one. I was hooked from the first page and flew through this one. It kept me on the edge of my seat guessing the outcome of the book. Well, the outcome was weird. I'm not happy with the ending. I can't tell you how I would have liked the book to end but the way it did was so unsatisfying. It felt too far-fetched with too many plot holes in my opinion. I had a hard time rating it. The ending would probably get a 2/5⭐ but everything else was a 5/5⭐.
There is a scene of an explicit birth and it was so hard to get through it. Please check trigger warnings before diving into this book!
If you have read it let me know how you like it! Because of the ending I think I would not recommend it, because for me it was not worth it.
