Some genuinely frightening and rifting imagery. The ending tore my heart out.

The best Nick Cutter horror.
Fantastic trio of main characters, a genuinely unsettling horror and doesn't feel as gratuitous as other extreme horror novels. Don't take that as me saying it's an easy or comfortable read though!

not my favorite nick cutter book, but still a wild ride. my favorite line was delivered by the token corrupted priest during a pivotal drink-the-koolaid moment: 

“i’ve never lied to you,” he lied. “i never have lied to you.”

there’s something about the blunt delivery that made me chuckle at the absurdity. i find myself quoting it when i watch things on the news.

Not one star because that’s reserved for DNFs. I at least didn’t DNF this book…

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! I think the characters are actually quite likable and their banter actually had me cracking up throughout. I would also love to see an animated adaptation as I feel the grotesque descriptions would lend themselves well to a visual depiction. I think it’s fair to warn people that there are flashbacks and time-jumps in this book, so much so that I actually paused and checked that I was reading the right book lol. I think the flashbacks work really well and present the information in an interesting way, but I imagine it might not be for everyone. In short, I think the main characters are enjoyable , the villains are detestable, and (almost) everyone gets what they deserve.
