American Rapture by CJ Leede
1.0
First off, many thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this book as an audio ARC! I greatly appreciate it!
I hate to do this, especially with ARCs, but I'm DNFing this. This is gross. This is gross and I haven't even gotten to when the shit hits the fan. I'm 19% in, and there's already a teenaged girl being sexualized and being weirdly horny for her brother. I was so hoping this would be up my alley, as I adore Catholic horror, but yikes. Big fucking yikes, man.
There's also the issue of the terribly choppy writing style. Two words isn't a sentence, C.J. Where is this woman's editor? Because they clearly aren't doing their job.
Cool it starts in Wisconsin, at least, since that's where I live! And the narrator is really good! Plus the cover and title are both phenomenal. Shame to waste them on this nastiness, though.
One star for American Rapture.
