This is not my normal genre but I enjoyed it for what it is while recognizing I’m not the target audience!
I feel like the book would do better marketed as a sort of guilty-pleasure read (gory, fun, quick) instead of “book of the year” horror story for everyone to read (just thinking about Roxane Gay’s review on the cover). Often the writing felt really detailed and descriptive but ultimately fell flat for me when it came to character relationships and dialogue.
