The Morass by Zachary Ashford

5/5 stars

I hate everything about this book…..and by that I mean it was fantastic! I’m going to be having nightmares about flies and maggots for weeks, but who needs to sleep anyway?

In all seriousness, I’ve never read anything like The Morass. It was gritty, disturbing, and, quite frankly, absolutely gross, but I could hardly tear my eyes away from it. Except to cringe, of course. I’ll never be able to hear a fly buzz without feeling traumatized, so thank you for that, Zachary.

Poor Katy and Kip….I was really pulling for them, but I had an inkling that things weren’t going to go well in the end. Kudos for that ending also, it’s not often that you see something that doesn’t somehow end in sunshine and daisies, so I appreciate the change even though it was extremely unfortunate.

Some of the slang was a bit hard to catch on to, but there were plenty of context clues around it to help me make a very good guess. I honestly have no complaints here; The Morass is a very solid read, and I’m honestly really impressed by how much character development happened with everything that was going on. Great job, seriously! I’m going to go cry in the corner now while my skin crawls from everything that I just read.

Thank you, Zachary, for sending me a copy of this! Everything in my review is my completely honest opinion!
