It’s hard for me to rate this book. Overall I found the story very heavy and compelling and so interesting but it was also really really fucked up.
This book made me feel really gross. I know that’s the point, but like… really gross. Be forewarned, the pedophilia and cp are very graphic.

I really enjoyed the Eli character and a lot of the nuance the books has to offer, but the Hakan character I definitely struggled with and even had to skip past a few of those parts.

Very intriguing story that keeps you wondering what will happen next. Please check the content warnings before reading. There's some pretty triggering topics if you aren't prepared for them

idk why but this lowkey slapped. like i never read horrors but im compelled to now, because comparing this to present day thrillers, this actually has intrigue plot weird ass events which are crazy but also shocking and they are rounded off quite nicely and the ending is satisfying there arent any plot holes at least from what i have seen. this book was crazy btw the body horror in this book isssssss unique hahah

When I started reading this book, I began it under the impression that this was the inspiration for the movie Let Me In (2010). I then realized (after some research online) that [book:Let the Right One In|62107410] is actually the original and [book:Let Me In|7911377] is a rewritten version of this story.

For those of you that might be experiencing some of the same confusion that I was. [book:Let the Right One In|62107410] is a much darker version of the story and does not directly correspond to the movie Let Me In (2010), but instead corresponds to Let the Right One In (2008). I have only read this version and not yet the rewritten one, but from what I learned online, the rewritten story will probably be suited more towards sensitive audiences. Some of the triggers that I picked up on in [book:Let the Right One In|62107410] are:

• Pedophilia
• Blood
• Sexual assault
• Rape
• Violence
• Child abuse/death
• Animal death
• Stalking

<b>*This is not a complete list.*</b> And be aware, that there are very descriptive scenes from the POV of a character that is engaging in pedophilia. If this is something that you can't overlook, I think the other version of this story (from what I learned online) [book:Let Me In|7911377], might be more suited to you.

All of this being said, it was still a very well-written and enjoyable horror/vampire story but please beware of the content to decide which version is best for you.
