Disturbing your readers is hard to archive, bit this book definitely got the job done. Without overdoing it with gore, it brang bloody moments with such an effectfulness to life, that i really felt scared at times.

I really enjoyed this book! In the beginning I wasn't so sure about it and if I'd actually end up liking it, but it was really catchy! It's full of body horror and I liked how differently the 'Virus' affected each character.
It felt slightly predictable from time to time but for me personally it wasn't that big of an issue.
All in all it's a pretty decent book, nothing you'll think about long after you've read it but I also couldn't stop reading and I'm happy with what it is. :)
