dandilyons 's review for:

Ghost Eaters by Clay McLeod Chapman

3.0

I really liked the tone the book started out with and overall like the author's writing style.
For being a "horror" book I never really found the book scary at all. There are some grotesque imagery but the way it is presented almost makes you laugh as much as revolt.
I truly understand the pull a toxic relationship can have but for how deep Erin was in it I don't feel we got enough backstory to really explain *why*.
Was especially not in love with the ending. How do you

lie to the police, kill 30 people, and destroy millions in property and write not getting prison time off as "white privilege"? I think even white privilege has it's breaking points. It felt like a too clean way to summarize the book. She gets a happy ending counseling other people who have drug issues after having been addicted to a drug
for 1.5 months and killing 30? ...wild
