Well that was disgusting. 

I’d seen this book being spoke about a lot on tiktok, but i didn’t actually know what the plot was, so i was rather curious to see what the hype was about and yeah, yikes. This was so disturbing in the best way. I physically recoiled whilst reading certain lines, and i’m gonna have some images burned into my brain for far too long. This definitely earns its title of extreme horror. 

I highly recommend checking trigger warnings and make sure you have a strong stomach before reading this

Definitely nasty, but well-written and unique too. So, so many TWs on this one. Emphasis on the extreme in extreme horror, proceed with caution.

This book is absolutely insane. I would never have guessed where it was going. Do not read this if you are sensitive to sex, violence, or anything really. It is incredibly graphic with a horrific story.
