underwhelmingly mediocre. each story had a strong premise and each failed to deliver any kind of interesting, tense, or emotional conclusion. The first two were quite gross--i guess for the shock value?--but weren't scary. Just yucky.

This is a book. Very triggering and disgusting about a depraved lesbian relationship. After reading this you will look at Apple peelers, tape worms and meat very differently.

Such a tense read. Packs so much dread and anxiety into a novella. Happy to read a horror story with lesbians even if it….doesn’t necessarily have a happy ending.

If i’m being completely transparent this book just wasn’t for me. The email and message format made the relationship very clear and concise but i couldn’t view the women past that. i guess you could say reading between the lines was required but felt unsupported. It was fast paced which made the flow of conversation very natural, you could argue that it was paced too fast but due to the nature of their relationship i think it fit well. This actually was one of the things that made the most sense due to the nature of the book.

this book involves a consensual but in my opinion unhealthy sub/dom relationship.
