This book was so addicting I started with an audiobook but it was taking too long so I picked up the book and read it in one sitting! There was a steadily creeping sense of atmosphere and dawning horror that catches you right away. It was grotesque but also beautiful. It reminded me a lot of Jeff Vandermeer's worlds and creatures, except it's also our own. The relationship between the sisters was scary and intense but also beautiful; can you love someone too much? I also didn't see the ending coming or the truth of what was really going on. Brilliant book, though not for the faint of heart.
