A review by magenta_menace
The Vile Thing We Created by Robert P. Ottone

3.5

a very strong premise with some good twists and culty vibes, but this novel was so slow to start, and the ending felt so accelerated. could have benefited from better pacing over all, a couple less sex scenes (some just felt unnecessary), and a tad more body horror--the gory moments were truly the shining elements of this text. i did enjoy the second half of the book, but this was almost a dnf just with how difficult the beginning was to get through.
