The concept of the story is intriguing enough to make you want to read it… and that’s it. Sadly the characters are all insufferable with no real sense of commitment to anyone but themselves. The plot becomes messy about halfway through. It is a spooky read with some good descriptions of horror and body horror sprinkled in, however those descriptions can’t save the book. The ending is entirely chaotic and anti-climatic at the same time. It’s disappointing. I really wanted to love this book because the concept is so interesting and had potential to be an incredibly moving storyline.
Graphic: Body horror, Death, Drug abuse, Drug use, and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Vomit
