I liked it! A bit bizarre, a bit disturbing, and a bit hallucinogenic, it was a fever dream of obsession and eyeballs. I liked how the book made it seem like it may be a dream and kept you guessing until the end. Look forward to more by this author.

Had so much hope for this book, but alas.

* * 1/2*. A young woman and her sister are not happy that their father has abandoned them for another woman and that their mother's new boyfriend isn't exactly the right man deserving of their mother.

That's how the book starts.

On the plus side, the chapters are short so the scenes are changing every 4 or 5 pages so you're never bored.

However, the characters are superficial and not that compelling, The scenes frequently get overdramatic so much so that at the end of a chapter, in my head I'm playing the soap opera suspense music: Dum dum duuuum.

Even though the book has been classified as "horror", I would say it's more a drama with intense bloody scenes.. And those scenes occur in the final third of the novel.

Not for the squeamish.
