This one was just a bit too much for me. I couldn’t handle it.

Honestly the ending kind of ruined it for me. Not the direction I thought it was going and I’m not sure how to feel about. The other parts were good though.

I genuinely don’t know what to say about this book. It was certainly disturbing, and it helped me realize that I can deal with blood and gore but draw the line at… other bodily fluids. I do have to say though, going into this I certainly wasn’t expecting the story to twist the way it did. I had an idea of what might be involved by the title, but the rest of the story was just a mindfuck. I also wasn’t expecting moments of emotion and sadness, so that was interesting. So, just like this book and the review I’m leaving it, my emotions are all over the place.
