Simply put at this rating due to certain content warnings. I don’t give 5 stars if it’s a sensitive topic for me, but I still loved this book! 

PLEASE CHECK CONTENT WARNINGS before you read this! I understand some like to go in blind, but some of the most severe in this book may be a trigger for you. 

Very enjoyable storyline. Kind of expected the ending once we get enough of Jack’s story revealed, but altogether very good!

I don’t know man

I don’t know what to say. Kids dying isn’t my thing to read, but it was far enough in the book that i just decided to finish it (before reading it i had a feeling that was going to happen but wished i was wrong, I wasn’t ugh).

I really enjoyed this book. It was definitely a page turner and the twist at the end got me. I have been a fan of Ania Ahlborn since reading her book, Brother and while that one is still my favorite, this one didn't disappoint. It was dark, thrilling and even pretty scary at times but I think any horror fan would enjoy it. It definitely has a "sleep paralysis demon" type of vibe. Highly recommend.

Just finished *Seed by Ania Ahlborn* - solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Genre would be *Horror*

I’d recommend to look up the TWs before reading as there’s none listed in the kindle version at least.

I thought it was pretty good, unsettling in some places. It’s one of those good “you see it but don’t really see it” horrors when it comes to the ‘monster’

Though I can understand why she ended the book the way she did, I did find it a little underwhelming compared to the rest of the book.

This just didn’t do it for me. I was so annoyed with the main character’s unwillingness to tell his wife/save his family for most of the book. The ending was just meh. The part about the eyes was creepy though.
