The concept is really captivating. It's hard to describe the pacing with this novel as it starts off paint-drying slow then speeds up so quick you're on a rollercoaster.
I enjoyed Vera's descent into madness and violence, and I love the concept of the monster, but I feel like I would LOVE this book instead of like it if the existence of the monster wasn't clear. IDK, felt too clear to me.
