I just finished Sister, Maiden, Monster by Lucy A Snyder and here is my review.
How are three women, all so different, connected in the most hellish ways?
During a global apocalypse, a virus has unexpected consequences for a percentage of the world's population.
Erin, after getting sick with the virus, turns into something she doesn't understand but makes perfect sense.
Savannah didn't end up like Erin after she contracted the virus but she did get a real taste for blood.
Mareva didn't get sick but the strange tumors on her body make her the most precious person on the planet and Erin and Savannah are tasked with protecting her at all costs.
I love a good horror book and this one took it to a whole new level. It took me to a place that would make hell look like a playground. At first I was like, not another book with masks and hand sanitizer.... I'm so glad I stayed with it because it really bought the old school horror with a solid fantasy read into the kind of book that will tickle your imagination in the very worst of ways. It gave me nightmares which never happen to me.
The idea that a virus could open us up to what happened to these women was the most deliciously terrifying thing imaginable. I did feel the 3 women had something about them that made you feel sorry for them no matter what they got up to.
The writing was excellent and I was hooked right in. What didn't I like? The ending was open ended and I hate that unless I know there is definitely going to be a book 2.... (Is there going to be a book 2?) I hope there is because I have questions I need answers to.
Love horror with a fantasy undertone, PICK THIS ONE UP NOWWWWWWW!!!!
4.5 stars.
Excellent read. Thank you @netgalley and @torpublishinggroup for my review copy!
