This book was so incredible. I was hooked from the beginning and it did not let down once the horror kicked in. Every action felt purposeful in progressing the narrative of the state of this family.

Holy crap. This starts off kinda slow, but not too bad. Then it gets weird. Then it gets WILD. I really enjoyed this.

4.75 STARS

This was such a brilliantly executed horror book. It was a fast paced decent into madness, and I couldn't keep my eyes away from it. A lot of the themes, especially about mother-daughter relationships, hit very close to home for me. I could understand Ji-Won's seething anger towards the world around her, even if by the end of the book, she was unrecognizable due to her descent to madness.

The plot twist at the end was crazy. By that final page, my jaw was left wide open. If you are a fan of shocking body horror and the types of stories where you watch someone's descent into madness, you will absolutely love this book.

Eh. Belabored a bit. Might make a fun movie, American Psycho style.
