This would make a great movie, it was difficult to piece together until the end. I wish my imagination hadn't been so caught up in confusion.

Nope. That one had me completely lost by the end, and as a result i failed to feel the menace or horror throughout most of the last quarter. Only thing I can definitely conclude is that I never want to hear the word "degloving" again.

Holy FUCK this was crazy. Ward’s writing is as visceral and beautiful as ever. There is nothing I love more than a horror novel that prompts me to reread previous chapters constantly

idk… more of a review to come but this is my least favorite out of ward’s novels. maybe a 2.5. too ambitious, drawn out, took itself a little too seriously. parts of this had me wondering if it was trying to be over the top? i don’t think it was. i did have fun reading this book until the big twists started. i can take a few twists but the end was just Full of them. i know that this is what happens in a catriona ward book, but it was just a lot for really no reason. what was with the gay stuff being taken back
