I really loved this book. The setting of the Wink, New Mexico as a small town stuck in the 1950s aesthetic with unimaginable monsters trapped there was a super fun set up. I loved the cosmic horror of it all and the overall strangeness. I think it was really original and fun to read.
There a few flaws that kept this from being a perfect 5 star read for me. The main character, Mona, felt a little underdeveloped and hollow. Also, the book is heavily driven by exposition, which is not necessarily bad to read, but I think it can get a little slow at times.
