I thought this was well-written and had important themes....but it was a stretch for me in terms of the horror and gore.

This was such a fun and exciting book to read. I recommend the Audiobook format!! The narrator is a performer and does such an amazing job! 

The book is so so good!! Action packed, body horror, history lessons, magic, heart break, so many things in such a small book. Never a dull moment. 100% recommended.

This was really good! The body horror almost got me though, lol. But it was horrific, funny, and thoughtfully done with the social commentary.
