My Review of Under Her Skin
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an arc in exchange for an honest review!
Although poetry is not for me, I love horror and Lynne is a big favourite of mine in everything that she does, and that includes the cover and so I wanted to give it a go.
Poetry is still not for me, unfortunately, however, I did find each poem very well written, and I would recommend it to anyone that loves horror and poetry together, as I think you will likely enjoy Under Her Skin.
