Sophia is a 29-year-old who lands a job at HEBE, a beauty and wellness company in Soho. It becomes immediately obvious that there is something weird in how they create their products; Sophia, having little to lose, just goes along for the ride.
Short, fun and weird in the best way. While it did take me a while to get into the story, once I did I was thoroughly hooked; there was something so... uncomfortably entertaining about it that made it impossible for me to put it down.
Even though I found it a bit predictable at time, it still is a well-done satirical horror. I almost wish it descended more into madness, sometimes it felt like there was so much more that could have been done and the author was holding back. But it still was a fun time for sure.
Many thanks to Dialogue Books & Netgalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for my honest review!
