Sinister and visceral. I have never read a book before that made me want to cover my ears. It is so descriptive that I felt right there with the characters.
It has a nice mix of characters (monsters). I think mothers especially will get a lot from this book.
Some parts I think needed a bit more time to develop to be more believable, but I think that's a good sign I wanted more pages to consume. Some bits I felt were introduced but then not fully explored, and the timeline was a bit confusing (though I think that was a printing error).
Overall though, it is such a unique book that I couldn't predict at all. Enjoyed it, even though I was also creeped out by it haha
