 4.75/5

Think Minority Report, Black Mirror, and Orange is the New Black all thrown together to create this wonderfully dystopian novel. A horrifyingly accurate depiction of where society may be headed, this book had me on the edge of my seat. A must read.

Thank you NetGalley and Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage, and Anchor for sending this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.

I really wanted to like this. I am usually a big fan of weird horror, but this was too much for me. This seemed to just be a bunch of body horror and gore with no true premise. If you were to ask me what the plot of this novel was, I would not be able to answer you. If you are a fan of gory horror, this may be for you. But it was definitely not for me.
