The Sweet Scent of Liver by Eli Wilde
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for sending me the ARC of The Sweet Scent of Liver in exchange for an honest review!
This was weird! But a good kind of weird! In The Sweet Scent of Liver we follow different kinds of people during a new kind of apocalypse, from the start of this event to the climax when shit's about to go down.
When I first started reading, I almost immediately realized that I shouldn't have read the blurb before going in. It's a story that you need to experience, rather than know the plot beforehand. The writing style was something I struggled with, but as time went on, I seemed to get used to it and it felt true to the story. Almost like Wilde introduced a new way of storytelling. Another feature I really liked was the references to religion, specifically God and Satan, which weren't necessarily overt but you really had to work for to get. Coupled with imagery of the sharded, this story was very unique!
I wouldn't recommend picking this book up if you're not already familiar with graphic horror stories. But if you are, I very much recommend you read this book!
