    I've been flying through this book. It is so weird and creepy, slow to build. I know that when the rubberband that is this book snaps it will hurt like a bitch. My only complaint is that, while generally quite good on this front, sometimes the protagonists is so evidently written by a man that it takes you out of the story.

    2.75☆ Good draft, but as a final result it doesn't seem finished. It could be polished much more, in regards to both the writing and the story. I was really excited about this novella. It sounded right up my alley, but it would have benefitted by some beta readers to catch the little inconsistencies, weird syntax, and in general to streamline the story. The plot was repetitive a d a bit stagnant and repetitive, with half the scenes being fillers to get to the bits the author was most excited about. The spicy and gorey bits were mostly immersive, but they still have some of the general issue, resulting in scenes that are a bit overwritten to deliver the punch.
