I was so excited for this book and I'm so disappointed I didn't love it.
I hated the main character Josie, I thought she was very one dimensional and she was very annoying. I think she was supposed to read as an unreliable narrator which I usually enjoy but this time was just a flop for me honestly. I did think Skelly was a cool character but even then I don't think this one should count as Horror, to me, I don't understand the horror vibes..
Po (Josie's little chihuahua) and the stunning cover was obviously my favorite thing about this whole book
I can definitely see potential in this author's writing and would consider reading from her again.
Thankyou to netgalley for allowing me to read this one early.

I've seen this book all over the book community and I'm just getting back into horror but what the actual hell is this book?
I usually am ok with darker storylines but this was just so gross. I feel like the author just wanted to write a gross book and he definitely succeeded. I thought about DNFing this several times but I kept seeing 5 star reviews so I assumed this would've been mindblowing.. No sir it was not.
TW: necrophilia, on page rape, cannibalism, talk of rape, pedophilia, probably more that I can't think of currently.
I would not bother with this book.

I really love how enthralling CoHo books are. This one had me in a chokehold and I loved it.
I don't know what I believe - Manuscript or letter but damn, I love Colleen Hoover so much

I don't think this author is for me unfortunately. I read her previous novel 'Little Secrets' and I didn't understand the hype with that one at all.
Unfortunately I feel the exact same about her upcoming release 'Things We Do In the Dark' I hated the characters and didn't really care about the story.

I really enjoyed this one! It was absolutely heartbreaking to watch the characters try so hard to keep their children alive but it was such an awesome read.
there was sad scenes, cool sciencey talk, creepy kids, what more can you ask for?
I didn't love love the ending but still really enjoyed.

This was such a good sequel to the first book 'The Arrangement' I definitely need to read more from this author, the ending was so good!
possibly another book? That cliffhanger though!!!

I love horror novellas but maybe it was the writing I didn't like? not sure why I didn't love this but it was a good fantasy horror
