Haley Newlin’s Reviews > Drencrom > Status Update

I was so into this one but I think the “shit-gremlin” just isn’t for me 😄 I’m having a hard time pushing through these last 20 pages

Still, I know other readers will still dig this one

I didn’t love the forest scene where Coda follows her Drencrom. I don’t mean to be prudish but I struggle with too much detail about stomach issues when it’s intended to amp up the horror.

Imagine Jennifer’s iconic line (from Jennifer’s Body) “I am going to eat your soul... and SH*T IT OUT, Lesnicky!” manifested 😄

“Now I know what I am. And now you know what you’ll become”

I love how we have two POVs and how dynamic they feel, just for us to realize how twisted they are inside. The metaphorical meaning behind the physical manifestation of a person’s Drencrom - light vs. dark / good vs. evil

“She was staring at some scorched-engine-oil version of herself”

Alex and Drencrom. Shocking, bloody, gutting

“Sooner or later, we all end up in the ground”

I love this scene - stoners ripping the bong, talking about who Coda saw.

Her doppelgänger?!?! 😯 😯
