dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
This was so unrelentingly horrific from start to finish that there was a point where I was going to rate it a solid 3 because it was such a tough read. Like, it's funny to say a horror novel has bad vibes but goddamn did this have bad vibes. But it drove home the violent dullness of true serial murder and stuck the landing so hard that now I'm not sure it wasn't brilliant! But I can't decide, so no rating. But now I need a long shower.
