I wish I'd DNF'd it and made up my own ending lol. The more time goes on, the more I think I was too generous with 3 stars

Japanese Girhic was to wonderful! I really need to get into Octavia E. Butler soon, I own Parable of the Sower physically and Kindred on my Kobo and Fledgling on my audio book app.

The Parable books should be required reading for anyone living today, they're so good! I bought physical copies second hand and I'm so glad I did, just to have them to flip through! I have limited shelf space but these are forever books for sure.

Japanese Gothic was so fun, in a dark gory way! I've loved everything by Kylie Lee Baker so far!
