pickThis was nothing like I was expecting! I thought it was going to be a motherhood gone wrong sort of story - which it was in a way - but it was so much more! There are ongoing mother/daughter issues, generational trauma, and the supernatural! Just a really twisty tale that I couldn‘t stop listening to. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickI liked this one a lot. The creep factor was different. What i like the most is that the story was nicely tied up at the end. No cryptic ending! I do think that if you‘ve ever dealt with or are dealing with postpartum that this book could be triggering because it does deal with some of those feelings and situations of having a newborn.
The due date is looming over my head on this one! I have 3 days left to read it so I hope it‘s a quick read.
so-soThis book was too weird for me. Since I had fun reading Nightbitch and this book gave me those vibes I‘m going to attribute mood reading issues as to why this gets a so-so rather than a pick. It‘s a wild read as the reader figures out what is real and not for this new mother, and who is good and not. I needed to go all in to enjoy this but couldn‘t find my way.
But in other happenings Go Chiefs for all who celebrate ♥️💛🏈
pickBook 7📚 4.5⭐️
I‘ll tell ya, as a new mom, I‘ve never felt more seen than in the early pages of this book😂
A vivid and twisted tale of postpartum!
A must stack!📚
so-soThis is somewhat of a convoluted ghost story. The premise is interesting but some of the ending is a bit much. Flora has just had her first child and is having some supernatural postpartum psychosis issues.

so-soThis was a fairly good, fast thriller. My family is down with the flu this week, so our Thanksgiving plans were pretty much cancelled. I work tomorrow a half day (work from home), then probably another chill day at home. On the bright side, I will get some more reading in.
pickI have never said WTF more while reading a book. Lots of triggering topics in this one and very horrifying!
pickI read this last month. It‘s a solid horror novel. The tone is sort of V.C. Andrews meets postpartum psychosis. #BOTM
pickThis debut novel quickly becomes impossible to put down! Mother horror has become a recent sub-genre & though this reminded me of a few other books, I still stayed up to finish in one sitting! With her husband deployed, Flora gives birth alone & though her dad & stepmother stay for a short time initially, Flora‘s isolation & sleep deprivation starts weighing on her, bringing back episodes from her own childhood, body horror & an uncanny visitor.
pickThis story follows a new mom who, out of necessity, invites her estranged mother into her home, only to discover that old wounds run deep and sinister events soon unfold, blurring reality.
Fast-paced, chilling, psychologically suspenseful with dark secrets slowly unraveling and the line between reality and nightmare blurring with every page - UNPUTDOWNABLE!
