Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A. Snyder
4.0

The author did a fantastic job of blending pandemic horror, body horror, cosmic horror, and realistic human/government reactions to these types of situations. While I didn't like all three women by the end, as I'm sure we're definitely not supposed to, I did love them as characters. While this is body horror, and definitely not for the squeamish, it is just the right amount to not see gratuitous.

To be honest, the reason this gets a 4 instead of a 5 from me is because I was left wishing the story (and maybe even the gore) was more fleshed out. There were also some clunky bits that really should have use some smoothing over. Still, very much worth a read.
