5.0

Hell Followed With Us was a super unique read. Benji our protagonist is a Trans teen escaping a cult who ended the world. He joins the Watch at the ALC a community of LGBTQ+ survivors and has to decide what to do next as they turn into the Seraph. It's such an amazing concept and the world is absolutely terrifying, our introduction to the Grace and their super visceral descriptions were so unsettling. The body horror in this book was just on another level, some of the descriptions of either the Graces or Benji's transformations made me need to pause they were so intense. The teeth especially!

The writing style is fantastic & the whole story flows so well keeping you hooked. I'm looking forward to reading more of the authors works. A couple revelations in the book had me shocked & Nick's first pov was a shock. There's not many pov switches but each one leaves such an impact. Overall, an amazing read and I'd highly recommend it.

Thanks to Netgalley & Daphne Press for the arc
