Having a wet, damp hotel is already creepy enough. Mold and mildew might be in dark corners, or maybe it's slithering little tentacles waiting to turn you into some monster straight out of The Strain. The Cut is giving vibes of Cuckoo, Slither, and mostly A Cure for Wellness. While I enjoyed the novel overall, it left me with questions, from plot to character development. One big one was the author seemed afraid of abortion. Not once was it ever even conceived as a option, even to immediately dismiss it. No money, no home, already have one kid, and to top it off: it's the baby of your abuser? 

Another was the lack of connection to the water. How was it discovered? Why hasn't it expanded if the little monsters are in a lake as big as Lake Erie? What do mayflies have anything to do with it? I think that could've definitely been expanded upon since it feels so uneven.
