i wanted to take my time reading “bat eater” so i could savor every little word: but i was unable to stop myself from reading and, like the ghosts in this book, completely devoured it.

it’s gory, it’s angry, it’s sad, it’s pessimistic. it’s completely terrifying because it's real and all of that /did/ happen.
the author did a great job in transporting me back to those times, making a shiver run down my spine and unease sit heavy in my stomach. i was angry and frustrated and i could see myself and others i quarantined with so much in cora’s actions, in her fear and in her distrust, in her OCD and the anger that kept growing and growing as the world kept going while everything felt like it should be burning down to the ground.

i can’t wait to get a physical copy of this book. i’ll definitely be recommending this to others!

a big thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for providing this arc.
