Review:
This was my very first book by this author in which I only decided to give into the hype because everyone was raving about how weird this book was and sure enough it was a wild and strange ride. I’m still having problems with putting my thoughts into words for this story after reading it and I guess I will say, it was just okay to me since it my first time reading something in the horror genre period, but overall I loved the reference to Mean Girls and from what I heard is that this book sounds like if it could be the distant cousin of Stephen King’s work, but still enjoyed it nonetheless. And another thing, reading is subjective and not everyone is gonna vibe with this author’s work but I say give it a try if it sounds like something you would enjoy.

Happy Reading Everyone 💙

Synopsis:

We were just these innocent girls in the night trying to make something beautiful. We nearly died. We very nearly did, didn’t we?

Samantha Heather Mackey couldn’t be more of an outsider in her small, highly selective MFA program at New England’s Warren University. A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, she is utterly repelled by the rest of her fiction writing cohort–a clique of unbearably twee rich girls who call each other Bunny, and seem to move and speak as one.

But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnies’ fabled Smut Salon, and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door–ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnies’ sinister yet saccharine world, beginning to take part in the ritualistic off-campus Workshop where they conjure their monstrous creations, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision.

The spellbinding new novel from one of our most fearless chroniclers of the female experience, Bunny is a down-the-rabbit-hole tale of loneliness and belonging, friendship and desire, and the fantastic and terrible power of the imagination.
