i LOVED this take on grief, with it taking the tangible, scary, hungry form of Monstrilio. definitely a book i’m going to think about and talk about for a long, long time

i bought this book cus i thought it would be scary, it wasnt (except for maybe one or two scenes), so kinda disappointed... i like the writing but the pov were getting less and less interesting as the book continued
Also didnt give a f about any of the characters, except maybe Lena

Dark but beautiful story. Hits on themes of grief, family, and identity. A bit slower pace at beginning but made up for it rest if book. It’s a little gory at times but not what I consider true horror. Would definitely recommend this one.
