What an incredible read! Written from the perspective of a child experiencing a haunting this books unique voice grabs hold and never lets go…kind of like the evil haunting this family.

After 9 books, Jussi still knows how to tell a compelling story. Not as gritty as some of the others in the series, this definitely has its twists and ends with the ultimate cliffhanger. Can’t wait to read number 10 and see how the series comes to an end!

The world has ended, some have survived, and an unlucky few have been taken into an extreme religious cult. As the “holy” will do, they subjugated, mutilated, and beat women into submitting to their righteous views. Written as a diary, the story is compelling, and heart wrenching at times. Wonderfully written it drips with the pain and emotion of the main character. Her story, and thoughts evolve leading to her destined end. Really enjoyed

With deeply disturbing visuals and gore this book is very over the top. But even with that, the overarching message of the main character being the bad guy came through loud and clear. Low brow, it’s a book about fucking corpses. High brow, it’s a book about dehumanizing women, abusing us, and throwing us away like trash. But in this case, the abuser becomes a very welcomed victim

Interestingly written, thought provoking and so well done!
This could have been half as long and probably just as bad if not slightly better. The author telegraphs everything so there’s no real mystery to how things are going to progress or end. Terrible flowery language that just gets repeated chapter after chapter. Save your time and skip it
Even with all the flowery excessive language, or perhaps because of it, the cursed lovers reveal was so ridiculously telegraphed

Written as an academic study with graphs to prove its thesis and individual governing laws, this book is a quick and highly entertaining read! So easy to remember I’m sure I’ll be pulling this out in conversation for a long time
A truly well written tale with interesting twists and turns. The last third is where the madness really kicked in with some shocking scenes and tremendous ending. It’s gonna stick with me for a while
