Too much telling instead of showing and the time just seems to jump around without making it known. I love horror novels and this being a gothic story featuring immortality sounded right up my alley but sadly it lacked the execution. I was just bored and didn’t like the writing style. After reading other reviews, I’d end up DNFing sooner or later, or powering through but rating it low. I enjoy horror novels and dark, morally questionable characters but the stuff that is mentioned in other reviews makes it sound like trauma porn for the sake of shocking the reader rather than any sort of character/plot development. I’m fully aware the synopsis says not for the faint of heart but it seems the story is even more extreme than the synopsis suggests. Do not ignore the trigger warnings and I never would have requested this on Netgalley had I known how tasteless this novel would turn out to be.
