ARC REVIEW
Devoured is a brutal little novella, one that drags you from postpartum depression into full blown postpartum psychosis and then straight into visceral body horror and body transformation. It absolutely goes in a direction that is completely unexpected.
The body horror and gore are vivid, also the way Risshan ties emmas physical transformation to her emotional breakdown was genuinely unsettling. For a book under 100 pages, it’s shockingly effective, well written, and relentless. But Be warned, this one is not for the faint of heart; make sure to check your triggers.
I tore through it in one sitting. I devoured it

Devoured 😳😮🫣
Oh I’ve been waiting for this since the day Risshan told me she was working on something! I absolutely loved her writing style in Vile Confection so as soon as this hit my inbox I started & totally devoured it 👏🏼🤎
Emma should feel elated, she’s got what she always dreamed of, beautiful, healthy twins. Her own little family! But the reality of this isn’t what she expected.
She has no help from her husband, Blake, she’s feels like her body is no longer her own she’s just their to feed 2 little mouths every 3 hours. Running on very little sleep she’s suffering!
Postpartum depression has got her, her own thoughts are suffocating her. She’s becoming delusional, totally transfixed on her own delusions…
Has Postpartum psychosis taken over any rationality she may of had? 🫣
Omg Risshan!! You are insanely talented!! This shook me to my core 😭 I am lost for words at just how brilliant this actually was!
It sucked me in from the very first page & spat me out a little over an hour later feeling empty & speechless! 😮💨 I’d never heard of postpartum psychosis before this! But my god this was crazy good! I really can’t put into words how brilliant it was!
I’m going to pre-order a copy for my bookshelf RIGHT NOW! Releasing 16th Feb, this is not one to be missed!! Do check those triggers though, it’s rough! 😭
Thank you so much for the ARC, you are incredible 🫶🏻🤎

And just like that I will never look at hamsters the same again ....
Postpartum psychosis and some serious body horror combine perfectly to create an unforgettable novella.

I absolutely love Risshan's writing, and I feel so privileged to have beta-read this one.
From the moment she shared the blurb, I was on board.
In Devoured, we follow Emma, a woman who just given birth to twins, and her husband is... well, absent. Emma is left on her own to deal with the needy babies and somehow needs to find time to be her best self as well.
All of this changes when her sister picks her up for a well-deserved day out.
Risshan has a magical way with words, which makes you truly experience her stories. You feel it, smell it, envision it.
I devoured this book, and I can't wait to see what else Risshan has in store for us!
