My first reaction upon finishing this book was WOW. Tender Beasts is masterful. Weaving complex and emotional themes throughout, Sambury creates a waking nightmare filled with violence, secrets, and plenty of mystery. Think Slenderman, think Get Out, and then put it in a blender with Dear White People and that's almost close to the journey of emotions and plot twists you're witness to in Tender Beasts. Do yourself a favor, read it!
