DNF @ 70%

I typically won't DNF books this far in because by this point, I'm very much a victim of the sunk cost mindset and will go, "well, I've read this much, I might as well finish!" buuuut I'm so bored I can't do anymore. I was so excited for this book but it's been an absolute slog, even with the audiobook. I'll withhold the star rating but I am going to add it to my read shelf since I read ~200pg of it. 🤷‍♀️

I also feel like I should mention that, despite the fact that I'm a queer person who was raised in a strict religious household and I usually find queer horror with religious themes very cathartic, this one was too heavy-handed on the day-to-day aspects of religion (constant scripture quoting, depictions of sermons, etc.) for me to enjoy that element. I know a lot of fellow "religious trauma" gays who have loved this book, though, so YMMV!

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.
