Loved the atmosphere and writing a ton; just personally wish there were less themes of sexual assault. They don’t feel gratuitous, but it’s not something I like to read about, especially in horror. I’ll allow that that’s a personal taste, though! Overall, the book was creepy delicious, and I would definitely read Moreno Garcia again!
Graphic: Emotional abuse
Moderate: Sexual assault, Violence, Toxic relationship, and Xenophobia
Minor: Death, Body shaming, Physical abuse, and Suicide
Has elements of mind control!
