The men in this book.... Ohh, I hate them so much. There was a lot I liked about this read, but the things I disliked really overshadowed them. Absolutely an uncomfortable read (As horror should be), and all horror elements did what it was supposed to do. If you want to read this book to be scared, disgusted, uncomfortable, freaked out, I say go for it. That's where Hendrix's writing really shines. However, I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending, and the misogyny and weird racist undertones didn't necessarily work for me in this setting; where normally these topics feel like they're teaching a lesson, here they didn't feel expanded upon enough, making it feel pointless.
