This was a gripping read. I don’t read a lot of horror or gore but I was thoroughly glued to the page. The characters are all pretty morally grey and unlikeable, and I enjoyed the exploration of the reality TV genre.

4.0

Just such a fun read. I loved Renee as a character,

she made such a great final girl for this story,

and the romance between Maggie and Kathy that's explored through letters in the last third of the book genuinely almost brought me to tears. A win for the lesbians.

Such a weird book. Part satire of modern media, part slasher. I think the slasher part was more effective than the satire. Leaves many questions unanswered, and I wish we saw more of Patricia (the sasquatch).

5.0

I devoured this. This book is my flavour of weird, and I could not put it down. Woman’s wrongs, reality TV and commentary on society, lesbians, the Pacific Northwest, and a cryptid? Sign me up.

From the reviews I read I was expecting this to be pulpy. I can see that, but is this is pulp then it’s the best pulp I’ve ever read. I want more of this, which is my only complaint. 

I don’t feel like I can describe my experience without spoilers. It might not be the weirdest out there, but it will take you for a wild ride. And, for me, the gore is VISCERAL.

This was the perfect thrill ride to pull me out of my reading slump. Once I started, it was difficult not to read the rest.

Weird book? good but also what 
I liked the pacing of the second half of the book but the first half did go very slow for me 
So confused would have kind of liked more of an explanation but whatever
For a book that says it’s a queer horror it isn’t very gay more a book that just had a gay couple in
