Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Books | Erewhon Books for the use!lending of the book in question for an honest review.

The author is definitely knowledgeable about a lot of subjects which comes off both confusing and know-it-all. It was also repeatedly told to us rather than shown and I found the writing to be too much like a non-fiction book that I was studying rather than the fiction I was expecting. Where was the horror and why did it take so long and jump around so much? Just wasn't moving fast enough for me, I suppose.

It's just so unfortunate, honestly, I was hoping to get through it, but it was such a slog and I kept falling asleep which never happens to me when I am reading.
