Didn’t love it, but didn’t hate it either, hard to rate. Compelling enough to see it through to the end, and without the buildup it would’ve been ridiculous. Shockingly not the grossest thing I’ve ever read. The kind of book you read just to actually know for yourself what’s in it for morbid curiosity. Now I do know. Oh well.
I do feel confident I may look at more “hardcore” horror novels that spark my curiosity though since I handled this one pretty well.

And I loved every word. Pretty sure the stories told in Woom will stick with me for the rest of my life. This is not for the faint of heart, but if you have the stomach, it is a tale of love and self discovery unlike any I've ever read.
Bless you, Shyla.

I pieced it together just moments before the book announced it and that, friends, is what amazed me. I'd had no clue that that was where it would end up, and even those closing few sentences blew my mind. Yes, I'd predicted the feature presentation (honestly you'd have to be pretty daft to miss it), but that one moment wasn't what the book was about and I loved it.
It's wonderfully written, and I really appreciated the insight at the end into how this book even came about.
