A super quick, gory read. Nothing over the top and just the right amount of mystery and suspense.

It was pretty good, but I wouldn’t look into to much before reading as a lot of reviews make the ending super obvious. Though it  doesn’t typically bother me, it is a super obvious twist and I found the end to come on quite quickly. It was written well though and I think would make a pretty good full length novel or even a decent movie thing just need to be more fleshed out. Needed a few more pages.

This book was a wild ride! I called one of the twists but it didn't even matter because it was so tense and enthralling. It however did not end how I thought it would at all! 

It was tough for me personally to get through as someone with a manipulive parent I've had to cut off but made it all the more scary for me.

That being said I saw myself in Miller and honestly can sympathize with just giving into a parent like Sylvie because it's "easier". Made the ending even more devastating for me!

A short gruesome novella about toxic parents, abuse, and mother-daughter resentment. This one absolutely terrified me, and though you could see where it was going I still found it disturbing. This book is so short but quick paced and addictive. Because it is rather short I don’t want to give too much away.  This was a perfect read for me until the end. The pacing was perfect the whole book until the ending which was abrupt, predictable, and a little too bleak for me. Other than that I loved this
