Weird Books for Weird Girls

Hello lovelies, today I’m going to attempt to recommend to you a book that I have not really seen too much in this category. This is personally one of my favorite books ever and has such a feisty and sociopathic female lead. If you’re into the female rage trope then this is for you. People have been calling this an extreme horror book, but in all honesty this was fairly mild to me. But please take that with a grain of salt, I do read a lot of extreme horror so this was just not very extreme to me in that sense. The story is overall fascinating and things escalate very quickly. If you’re a weird girl who likes slashers and a strong female lead PLEASE give this a read!
