Much like other reviewers have noted, the story is really on the nose and the ending is rushed. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable creepy romp with some great dialogue and a single most hilarious, absurdly funny scene I've ever laughed at in horror: that proposal! Like. All that tension, and suddenly, the ring, and then even more tension. You've got to read it. 

In terms of characters, I liked Petal, and I saw a lot of potential in Astor. It's a shame his arc fell flat so soon—it would've been nice if the story played harder into that angle where he didn't really agree with what his family was doing. If he was a bit more on Joey's side, but eventually chose his own, or something to that effect. Joey herself mostly annoyed me until she sprung into explosive action at the end, but I didn't quite buy her switch from passivity to decisiveness.

Mostly, I felt like the story was a little underdeveloped, but there were still some great moments!
