Seed by Ania Ahlborn
3.0

Seed was creepy and made my bones itch.

What I enjoyed about Seed was that it gave me Insidious vibes, which as one of my favourite horror films of all time, is always a win for me. Child possession is not a fresh new concept in horrors by any means, but I enjoyed the way this was written and how Charlie’s demeanour shifted throughout the story. There are some pretty dark themes in this book, which is to be expected with a horror but the ending genuinely made my stomach churn.

However I do feel like what marred this book for me was that although it’s relatively short, it felt repetitive at times. There’s lots of scratching noises at night, Jack can’t sleep, and then it’s breakfast time.

For a quick, unsettling and gory read, Seed hit the mark. I would like to read more by this author for sure.
