I feel very meh after reading this book. I know there is a video game based off it, and although I’ve watched a playthrough of it I don’t fully remember the story of it. 

However this book did not have the same vibes as the game, and I feel like I learnt more about kidney transplants than feeling the tension a horror book like this could’ve had.

The action thankfully kicked in around page 230. Unfortunately the third act does include

sexual assault, and eve implants a zygote into a 14 year old girls body

. Those two scenes made me so uncomfortable and not in an ooh horror makes me squirm way, but more oh I feel actually unwell.

I know eve’s goal was to propagate, but I just really hate when horror books use sexual assault as a plot point. There are other ways to horrifying readers and traumatise characters with something that isn’t so invasive.

Glad to be done with this book, and glad to move onto other good ones
