A delicious mix of horror, family drama, and social commentary.
It starts a little slow, but picks up quickly. Once you hit the speculative elements, it just ramps up from there. It gets gruesome, borderline gory at times. And gore doesn’t normally phase me, but the injuries were so real here that I was squirming in my seat. That doesn’t happen often for me, so it was a real delight.
Talk about some sibling behavior! All three of them had some of the most realistic sibling dynamics I’ve ever read. And as an eldest sister, this really hit me in the gut and kept punching. It was brutal. I understand Calla and every choice she made, but that doesn’t mean it hurt any less.
Definitely for fans of Jordan Peele, this one is well worth the read!
All opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in return for my honest review.
