This was an emotional rollercoaster I was not prepared for coming into this book. An endless thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy.
Wow. Jess was a wonderful main character, and I absolutely loved her internal monologue, she was hilarious. I near lost my mind at the description of one character being “an old man the consistency of beef jerky”. Alongside these little quips of comedy, there were some really dark and gruesome scenes, but it was also tragic and heart warming all at the same time.
This has the makings of a real horror classic, twisty, addictive and thrilling.
