3.5

Promising premise but would've liked it if it was edited to be more concise. There was one passage when I actually thought, "Ok, we get it, it's a religious text" and I didn't need a whole paragraph about how it's a religious text instead of what the religious text actually was

Honestly can't understand what exactly happened at the climax, and there was some conflicting details in the world building. For some reason, the set up for the entire story is contained in a short post epilogue AND post acknowledgement short story that would've served everyone better if it had been up in the beginning.

The romance between the main characters also happened suddenly without any build, so I was left wondering why the language changed abruptly.

The more I mulled on it, the less I think I personally liked it, but the Plague Doctor and premise of a vengeful woman still had a lot of promise.

Could have been a white paper for an events consulting company.

Imagine name dropping ppl like Obama but then opening your own book with something as small scale as whether or not the father of your baby should be at your own baby shower.

This is an audiobook must as it's read by Dave Grohl himself. Listening to him tell the story just adds another layer of entertainment to some already hilarious stories, and for when life takes its inevitable downturns, his voice adds another layer of heart.

3.5 for the twist ending

Thought provoking and emotional stories, a recommended read but sensitive readers, a trigger warning as some stories are incredible heavy and gruesome (understandably so)

Creepy when read as both a child and adult and the perfect gateway book to more of Bellair's works
