Words cannot express how disturbingly good this book truly is! This story follows Marcos who works in a "meat" processing plant, and trust me, the meat is as special as they claim! Every time I thought this book couldn't surprise me anymore, it threw me once again! The twists and turns are so unpredictable, and I loved every moment of it!
Every character in this book is going to hell! There are no heroes in this book. At one point, I truly thought Marcos was going to make a change and do better, but in the end he showed his true colors as well! There were no good people in this book, so be prepared!
This book was deliciously disturbing and weird. Please check the trigger warnings before you read this book, because there are several! I highly recommend Tender is the Flesh, you will not be disappointed.
