5.0

One of my fave reads of the year! There are genuinely horrific moments both eldritch as well as the more tangible horrors of unchecked capitalism yet it also manages to be deeply emotional, moving and hopeful. I loved our protagonists, seeing our main character Misha’s inner conflict and growth, the ever supportive and kind Zeke, and Tara who is just everything! I loved the moments of dark humor, the mysteriousness and the twists. This is also honestly one of the most original books I‘ve read this year, delivering a really fresh premise. 

If you are looking for something uniquely dark and terrifying but with emotional depth I can’t recommend this enough. 

Thank you very much to NetGalley and the publisher. I received an advance review copy, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
