As a horror girly, I surprisingly don’t read a lot of horror and I’m not sure why. So I am fixing that, starting with this book and this was such a good book to start my horror novel journey. It was short but it packed quite a punch. I found myself entranced with this book and when it was over, I was so sad. I didn’t want it to end at all.
I won't say too much about this book because I don't want to spoil anything. This was a great book as I mentioned above. There was some body horror but nothing too bad, especially if you’ve seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre or a typical zombie movie. I do love the two POVs we got. I also appreciate we still have a backstory that was fully fleshed out, which I know is hard in a novella. I loved the graphic descriptions of the blood and gore but it wasn’t too much and it didn’t make me feel sick at all.
I’ll talk about the main character, Grammy. For some reason, I just enjoyed the heck out of her POV. She had some vibes that were a little off to me but I found myself loving her and her creepiness. While I enjoyed the other POV, I found myself wanting to go back to Grammy’s. There was just something about her. She was just the perfect character and I often think about her a lot.
Overall, this is a great novella. I know this review is pretty short but since it’s a novella, I didn’t want to give too much away. I think a lot of people would enjoy this book, especially if they enjoy body horror books. It’s a great starter horror book. I know I will be seeking out more of this author's book and I can’t wait to see what else they do!
