Contemplating turning back to page one and reading this again. I started this book and from page one knew this was going to be a 5 star read for me, a rare experience for me. The writing is so good, I wanted to stop and highlight but just kept wanting to turn the page to find out what was happening. I'm looking forward to a reread. Unsettling, horrific, poetic, and heartbreaking. 

As with most horror/thriller I think the less you know going in the better, but it is good to be aware this book has some heavy themes of child abuse, grooming, pedophilia, sexual abuse, racism/racist acts, animal cruelty/death. Many of these are themes I generally avoid in fiction, but I trusted Rivers Solomon with the subject matter and they are all handled with great care in this book and most are referenced rather then graphically depicted, although it is horror, I think this could be good for someone who doesn't read a lot of horror/doesn't like a lot of graphic horror. 

Thanks to net galley and the publisher for an e-arc!
