Such a Pretty Smile by Kristi DeMeester
3.75
dark

Feminism Horror and Powerful

I am not big into horror but I was interested in reading Such A Pretty Smile. It took me a while to read this as DeMeester's book is hugely violent, visceral and gorey. All the characters are powerful, and I felt myself drawn to them.

Such A Pretty Smile draws you in with the concept of feminism horror, and deals with very sensitive topics such as grief, sexism, and societal norms. This book takes you on a wild ride.

If you are sensitive to the trigger warnings that come with this book, or are a dog lover, DO NOT READ THIS.
However, I would highly recommend Kristi's book to any horror fan.

Thank you to NetGalley, Kristi DeMeester and St. Martin's Press for the chance to review an ARC copy.
