The Divine Flesh by Drew Huff
2.0

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC. All thoughts are my own.

I was so excited to read this after finding out the premise. Sharing your body with an eldritch god? Incredible. The execution? Not so incredible.

Now, I really enjoyed Huff’s writing style and I think the body horror aspects were done really well.

However, I think Huff was trying to accomplish too much at once. The plot was dragged down by a number of subplots and by the expansive cast of characters. The internal dialogue between TDF and Jennifer made it difficult to keep track of who was talking. Overall, I feel like this would’ve been better as a novella than a novel.
