Enjoyable? Yes. Great atmospheric read? Yes. Good plot? Had potential but fell flat. Satisfying ending? No.

So this was an easy read. And it read like a creepy thriller.

But the plot was nonexistent and extremely slow. And the ending just left me… meh and confused.

So ok, Rosemary killed the mother. But that doesn’t explain the slugs. Like… someone make the slugs make sense.
