If The Push was too icky for you, I don't recommend this book. Some important trigger warnings - cannibalism, miscarriage, abuse (emotional, physical), drug use, animal cruelty... Really just the works.

All that aside, here we have a gothic horror tale told from a mother and daughter's PoVs, often delving into the past and fantasy worlds. We see experiments performed on dogs to rid them of bad genes, a trip to the desert with questionable motives, and betrayal after betrayal between two sisters. This book leaves you questioning everything with each chapter, and don't get me started on the ending. MIND BLOWN. The writing was poignant and compelling, though I'm still a little confused about certain sequences. Ultimately this is a great book for horror fans, and possibly even for thriller stans who can handle some gore.
