*. There are characters that I dislike but still make good protagonists. There are stories I enjoy that have ****** up main characters and plot lines. I just could not stand this book and wanted it to end but got to a point where I was so far in I needed to finish it.

Not only that but the writing of women? Like come on Lori and Abby didn’t feel believable for a second. And the over use of words like sluiced. Just because it’s an uncommon word doesn’t make the description more interesting. It just makes you an asshole.30:T57b,0/5

**** this book. I knew going in there’d be some ****** up **** in this book but I’m just mad. Buzz’s character being a borderline racist caricature of a black man, Abby’s portrayal being incredibly ableist and the detailed incest rape scene. Everything about this book was throughly loathsome and I hope to never experience anything like it again. I wanted a grim supernatural horror story with some ****** **** and I got this. I would rate it a 0 if I could.

The only chapters that were actually interesting to me and not just boring or nauseating were the chapters WITH the River man and even then they had to mention her getting wet at the thought of banging her brother again. AND THAT END LINE, **** that cheesy nonsense.

And before anyone comments, I know you’re not supposed to like Lori. I could give less of a ****. There are characters that I dislike but still make good protagonists. There are stories I enjoy that have ****** up main characters and plot lines. I just could not stand this book and wanted it to end but got to a point where I was so far in I needed to finish it.

Not only that but the writing of women? Like come on Lori and Abby didn’t feel believable for a second. And the over use of words like sluiced. Just because it’s an uncommon word doesn’t make the description more interesting. It just makes you an asshole.
