Description

I feel them moving and crawling inside of me….

When I left the house that day, I never expected to find myself in this kind of situation. A day like any other – work, casual conversation, then an exciting date with her long-time crush. What could possibly go wrong? Well, nothing much if you stay away from stray dogs and their bites, but I didn’t.

So much pain. So many weird occurrences. What was with all these strange cravings?

Trying to go through my days, as usual, ignoring what was happening to me as best I can. Will I ever figure out what is happening to me? Surely, I will find something or someone to help me before it's too late – not just for me, but for everyone around me. I don’t know how much longer I can pretend I am okay...

Will someone save me before it’s too late?

Firstly I want to thank Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
MY SKIN. IS SO. ITCHY.
That was a wild ride. I went into this book blind, I don’t know what I expected. Judging by the cover I expected a Zombie book. But BOY was I off. This book focuses on a parasite living in a host and OHHH man. The way the author explains each thing in detail is skin crawling yet amazing, it almost felt like you were going through the same things to character was going through. My head STILL itches and I feel this book is going to stick with me for a long long time. If you enjoy skin crawling, disgusting in a good way horror. Then this book is 100% made for you.

It's been a while since I finished a book in one sitting, but that is exactly what happened with this one.

The story starts out quite normal, but after a dog bites the main character things go absolutely crazy.

The characters were all relatable and "normal", what I mean by that is they felt like normal human beings, they weren't the chosen one, or "not like the other girls" which I did appreciate and it really made the book better.

The whole virus/parasite thing reminded me of Resident Evil, and I loved everything about that. I've been looking for books that have the same vibes, and this one was exactly that (although I must mention that when I say it has resi vibes, I mean evil scientists and a virus, not zombie apocalypse).

The descriptions were really gross, even to the point that while I was reading it I became really nauseous, and at this one scene, I literally had to get up from bed and shake my pillows and blanket out because of the stuff I read. It definitely got a reaction out of me while reading, and I think that it's awesome and it shows how great of a book it is.

I pretty much loved everything about this book, but I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. I think it was a little rushed, and fell a bit flat. I was waiting for something bigger to happen, but I do understand that the ending was the way it was in order to get a plot point across.

This was my first book written by the author, but I'm pretty sure that I will check out some of his other works in the future.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves horror, and who is okay with gore. I think if you like zombies you will appreciate this book too, although it isn't a zombie apocalypse book.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

When a stray dog that looks harmless bites Melanie, her life takes a drastic turn. Not for the squeamish. A page turner for sure

I wasn't quite sure what I was going to get from this book as I decided to read it just based off of title and cover alone. Boy was I glad I did! Boris Bacic's writing was amazing! The descriptive depictions of the parasite infections was grotesque and gory but I just could not stop reading it. The cliffhanger at the end of the book made me wishing for more! I can't wait to see if there will be a book two. Overall, I will say if you are a fan of very gory detailed horror books, this book is 100% for you!

Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
