Customer Reviews

Enjoyed it a lot!

Found this book and bought it on a whim since the premise seemed interesting to me. A pregnant woman and her partner move to the mountains to escape the city, where a virus the seals the bodies orifices with more skin. This book is a slow burner but reads quickly, and the ending is quite explosive. The writing too is also really good in my opinion. Would definitely recommend checking this one out!
