𝓐𝓾𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓻: Nat Cassidy
𝓟𝓵𝓸𝓽: Mary is a woman that keeps to herself, collects porcelain figures, and tries to be Good. Unfortunately her entrance into menopause isn't going quite the way she expected - women's faces become hideous when she looks at them, she's missing gaps of time, and every time she looks in a mirror there is something horrifying staring back at her.
𝓟𝓪𝓰𝓮𝓼: 405
𝓖𝓮𝓷𝓻𝓮: Horror
𝓑𝓮𝓬𝓱𝓭𝓮𝓵 𝓽𝓮𝓼𝓽: yes
𝓣𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓟𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓸𝓭: contemporary
𝓞𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓫𝓸𝓸𝓴𝓼 𝓘'𝓿𝓮 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮𝓭 𝓫𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓻: first time reading this author
𝓕𝓸𝓻 𝓯𝓪𝓷𝓼 𝓸𝓯: slow-burn horror, interesting women characters, weird small town horror
𝓡𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓮𝔀: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This book has so many good things for it, it's hard to put it in a succinct review. Nat Cassidy manages to develop multiple interesting women characters into a story that is both feminine rage and empowerment. Oh and there's also a cult, possibility of possession, and a cantankerous aunt that is both hilarious and awful at the same time. This book is excellent - go read it.
