Like many, I started reading this book from the title alone. It came up as a recommendation and I got right into it because I thought the title was amazing. I am a horror fan and I have read a few other splatterpunk books, but each time I'm left with a feeling of uncertainty, especially after this one. With that being said, my review could be a bit biased, as this just might not be genre for me.

Trying my best to not sound accusatory, after reading these types of books I wonder what the true purpose of it is for. I'm genuinely not sure if this genre is supposed to be fetish/kink content. I did read the ending blurb of this book but I still wonder where the inspiration for this stuff comes from and with such graphic depictions of certain activities, I always had it in the back of my mind if I had accidentally got into something made for a specific group of people.

I'd truly love to actually learn more about the splatterpunk genre itself, but I think this book has given me enough reason to stay away for now.

Here's what I thought of the book:

Honestly, every time I got to a new chapter, I said “okay, finally, this is when somethings gonna go down” and it just never did - I truly thought it was a good story as well as extremely well written, but it did seem very slow and drawn out. When I got to page 280 I genuinely could not believe I still had 100 pages left. Sadly, it just got to the point where I was getting bored, I wouldn't normally consider a book this length to be 'long'.

With that being said, when stuff started going down, it really started going down. It was an exciting way to end off the book, but even then I kept looking at the pages left going “there’s still more?” 

I was happy with the ending, who can complain about terrible things happening to terrible people? I found myself rooting for the characters and got really invested. But compared to the slowness of the book, the ending seemed quick.
