Little Heaven by Nick Cutter
4.0
Wow! What a crazy ride!
First of all, a warning to anyone reading this: DO NOT EAT WHILE READING THIS BOOK ‼️
This book started off slow as it (necessarily) introduced the main players and told their backstories. However it does ramp up and by the time I reached “Little Heaven” I was fully invested.
One of my favorite things about this book is the truly cinematic feel that it has. This really plays out like a movie. The author is a master descriptor, which, let me tell ya, during the gross bits, makes it 1000x more disgusting than if someone else had been describing it. Which brings me to my next point.
To say this book has some fucked up shit, is a massive understatement. I cannot tell you how many times I said “WTF” out loud. This book is also absolutely disgusting. One of my biggest fears is bugs, and let me just tell you...fucking EW. These are compliments make no mistake. I love that this book made me physically recoil and lose my appetite mid bite. When I go to read horror books these are things I WANT to happen.
My main issue and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the ending, more specifically the epilogue. While I enjoyed having that last little bit with a few of the characters the final scene just lost the punch for me. If it had ended right before the epilogue that would have been perfect. However I’m not an author or an editor so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
I truly loved this book. It felt like an experience. If it ever became a movie I don’t know if I would ever be able to stomach watching it. Trust me, that is the ultimate compliment I could give a horror book. Bravo.
