Atmospheric and horrifying with visceral descriptions that will often leave you feeling sick and asking yourself “why?!”. I enjoyed the book but mainly was let down by the ending which felt unsatisfying and sudden. I felt as though there were a number of loose ends that were never tied up, and though likely a narrative choice, I was just left frustrated and wanting answers.
The ‘Gets could have pretty much been completely removed from this book and would have made no impact on the plot or otherwise, it very much feels like a wasted aspect of the plot
