Genuinely, this book has me feeling some kinda way, and it’s not good.
I’d like to start off by saying that this book is definitely more horror than anything else, and is definitely trying to make you feel uncomfortable. It succeeded in multiple ways, and I was genuinely nearly sick at some of the descriptions.
My second point will be that I am in no way a prude (check my reading history, we got some unique reads in there for sure), but the descriptions in the sex scenes in this book genuinely had me feeling like my 70-year-old grandma, disgusted and feeling a bit ill really.
I think if this book had left out the very gruesome, gory and plain weird details of the sex scenes, this book would have definitely scored higher for me. But, it just didn’t do it for me. Maybe this coagulation of horror and smut just isn’t for me? Who knows. I’m sure someone else will love this book - I just personally didn’t and really don’t want to pick up the next.
I will say, the plot was great, if not a bit predictable - but I don’t mind that at all!!
