I received a copy of this book from NetGalley but all thoughts are my own. 

This book took my heart, shattered it into pieces and then put it back together. It was both beautiful and harrowing. It was very difficult to read in many places but it was so worth it. The way that the author wove the horrors of the supernatural with the struggles of being a woman and a mother was fantastic. Honestly I'm still struggling to put into words the impact this book has had on me. 

My only issue is sometimes the writing was a little stilted. There was one (short) chapter that felt like it didn't want to be there at all.
