I blinked and was finished with this book. It was an easy and fast read. It's a character-based horror novel in which we follow three different women with three different roles in a... strange... pandemic. The first part of the book follows Erin who gets the virus even though she was very careful. So, alongside her, we learn about this new pandemic, how the virus transforms people and the changes in American society while the US government tries to keep it under control. That part is a funny social commentary, especially with the obvious parallels and references to the covid-19 pandemic.

At the end of the first part and going into Savannah the story changes from the dystopian satire to the eldritch horror and the last part is full blown lovecraftian cosmic horror with Mareva having the worst time out of the three main characters. All in all, the book is filled with dark humor, morbid charm, horrific body horror, and kinky sex. My only complaint is the ending. It ends abruptly and I feel like Mareva's story was a bit rushed. Since I was reading it in audiobook form and I wasn't really paying attention to the time left, the ending literally jumped at me unexpectedly. I was expecting, like, at least two more chapters and was surprised when the end credits started instead. But otherwise, I had a lot of fun with this one.
