TW: animal cruelty and animal testing


I truthfully tried to push through this book. But between some of the comments from the teenage boys and the actions of one specific boy, I couldn't continue reading after Chapter 27. As someone that loves animals, reading the descriptions written, made me so sick to my stomach, I had to forfeit continuing and leave this book as a dnf. I will be unhauling this book pronto.

What a nightmare read that was. I got physicality sick during three different parts. I quit it many times but had to know the ending. Uggg, it was so awful, so realistically frightening, I wish I never picked it up. I feel sick now just trying thinking of some of the horrors between the pages. It was a great horror book, it was pure horror and left me ill at heart. Stephen King said it was a story of nightmares and he was so right. It took me 9 days to read this black souled book. I feel like I'll never be the same as I was before, damaged and scarred. One word review-SICK
I gave it 2.5 stars, as horrible as it was it was exactly as it should have been, no fluff from this author.It starts out slow, even a bit dull, then it slowly builds from slight horror to absolute nightmare during the last 20 %

*4.5 stars⭐️

this book surprised the hell outta me. i was not expecting to enjoy it as much as i did because i did not like “the deep” by nick cutter. it definitely scared me at some points. the imagery is amazing
