A very good read about hate, love, and the trauma of a race of people. I highly recommend going into this blind. 

This was a read I didn't expect to like as much as I did. You could feel and connect with the characters and the situation they find themselves in. There was a printing mishap where pages 2 and 3 were switched, making it a bit confusing at first, but other than that a solid read. 

This book really takes you on the journey of the narrators life. You feel for her disconnect, the community that gets fostered, and the isolation faced. The story answers no questions. And when it's done, it's done. The third act seemed to effect me the most, and I'm not really sure why. 

Looks to be an interesting start to a series about a man sent to be a weapon who can't die.

I don't know if it's a series I want to continue reading. It has an interesting origin, but I don't know if I care enough to read more. 

I liked the story fine enough. I found it to be the weakest writing of the three novellas I've read by Kolesnik (True Crime and Waif being the others). This deals more with eldritch horror which I don't know is her strong suit. This seems a good read for a teen who likes horror or someone knew to the genre, but definitely isn't the extreme horror she's known for. 

I really enjoyed the concept. I found it kind of rushed things at the end and the epilogue felt tacked on. The story could've easily been 100 pages longer. It felt like things moved super fast in the second half. The difficult concepts the book brought up (ie. Religious trauma) are touched on a bit, but it doesn't feel like it went deep into it. Just surface level and not how multifaceted it can be. 

A really good mix of horror stories. Some I liked more than others, but if you want to try a whole bunch of different authors in the extreme horror genre, this is the book for you. 

An incredibly cute comic. I loved the story and the art style. It had me burst out laughing at points, and was a nice change of pace to the horror book I'm currently reading. 

Another good entry into the series. I'm excited to see where it goes next! 

If you like Chappel Roan's Good Luck Babe, Ethel Cain and Love Lies Bleeding, you will like Waif. I found the first half to be slow going at points, and the last third to be too fast, but overall really enjoyed it.
