Fun! Gross! I’m not sure where it was going some of the time but the imagery was fun nonetheless

This was a really quick read that really did a lot for the small amount of pages. I thought I knew where the story would go from the beginning, but then it just didn’t go there and kept twisting. This is definitely one of those stories that leaves you saying wtf. I thought some parts were really good and some were just there for shock which is not my favorite thing. I want to be shocked when I read this type of horror, but it needs to fit in the story in some way, and not just be there. Overall this was a cool horror story and it’s on KU which is great!

I’m not sure what I just read..

Ok…. So I got pulled in by the cover and the title and I found myself just saying wtf over and over. Oh and that was accompanied by a sour face in many parts. It was a super short read so I figured why not… I just don’t get the point of the story…and how it ended.. or really anything that happened. Lol it kept me intrigued to read because I wanted to know how it was going to end…well that was a bummer lol..

Mommy issues: check.
Hoarding: check.
Gross moments: check.
Con artist biting off more than she can chew *2: check.

Not entirely sure which character I felt bad for… the girl that managed to con her way into several bad positions, or the fool that almost ended up with her.
Themes in this book were numerous, and left me guessing where it was going, and that’s not often. So that alone kept me interested and I was genuinely surprised at Clint’s relationship with his mother…
The author managed to keep several things under wrap, nice little surprises along the way in my opinion.

This quick read was grotesque to say the least, but a damn good one, I mean who can’t get into that?

Strange, disturbing, gross, offensive, but somehow still entertaining. A quick read that leaves you wanting more at the end of each chapter, so it is best consumed in one sitting. It had some real potential for intense plot twists, but the lack of character development left most of them falling flat. It’s unlike anything else you’ve read before, so take that as you will.
