Recenzii

Shockingly real, twisty and dark. A fabulous read
Tense, thrilling, and at times, darkly comedic. Ensnaring you from the very first page, it's a roller coaster of emotions
An indictment of how women are treated during pregnancy, dismissed and ignored, their pain overlooked
A really sinister, compelling read
Perfectly terrifying and terrifyingly perfect. I swear my fists are still clenched and I finished it two days ago. Expect stratospheric tension from page one, vivid imagery and language so evocative I shivered throughout. Seizes Rosemary's Baby by the throat and drags it into the 21st century
A timely, terrifying, heartfelt thriller. I devoured it in one sitting
An absolute cracker of a read, one to be read by all women, everywhere. I could not put it down
The most sinister pregnancy since Rosemary's Baby. This book will keep you on edge the entire time
Heartbreakingly visceral, eerie and intense, reading Delicate Condition is feeling, with every new turn of the page, what it's like for your body to no longer be your own. A spooky, devour-in-one-sitting story that's guaranteed to have everyone talking
You may think you know where this is heading, but you'd be wrong. Whip smart and enjoyably gruesome
Delicate Condition is the feminist update to Rosemary's Baby we all needed - a twisty page-turner with unsettling details and crackling writing that's also a timely critique of sexism in modern medicine
Dark visceral horror. Loved it
Pitch black horror meets smart psychological thriller in this fantastically moreish debut. I devoured it, feeling simultaneously sick and thrilled. And that ending... just perfect
Pacy, visceral and very very dark. I didn't want to put this one down
So many reader emotions, I didn't know who to trust; if anyone! Delicate Condition is a thriller, a horror, a mystery and it's lingering in my mind, an aftereffect of a chilling read!
What a thrilling, visceral read. So dark, and very fast paced
Delicate Condition is a chill blade into the softest and most vulnerable parts of the imagination - I wouldn't have had it any other way
Sinister, visceral, and absolutely terrifying, I tore through this book, holding my breath until the end. This story is going to stay with me for a long time
A stunningly-written thriller that details a supernatural horror alongside the very real horror of medical misogyny. Unsettling and compelling
A darkly visceral and magically evocative novel. You won't be able to put this one down until you've absorbed every last terrifying word
A bone-cracking, spine-tingling, deeply visceral blend of the physical and the psychological - I couldn't put it down
A suspenseful, visceral read, where the supernatural meets some terrifying truths of motherhood. You won't be able to put it down. I loved it
A frightening, propulsive read brimming with brutal truths about motherhood, autonomy, and the everyday horror of not being believed. This twisty horror thriller will have you guessing until the staggering end
Oh. My. God. So bloody scary. Would not have read it alone in the house. Absolutely brilliant and visceral
A beautifully written thriller, intense and chilling, with one of the smartest twists I've seen in a long time
Fabulously original. A deeply unsettling read that plays on women's darkest fears of pregnancy
A visceral rallying cry against the horrors of medical gaslighting, our culture's indifference to birthing people's pain, and the complete terror of creating and sustaining life. Beautifully written, unbearably tense, and deeply scary
A full throttle creep show
Both disturbing and unrelentingly captivating, Delicate Condition grabbed me and didn't let go until its final page
I've never read anything like it before. Phenomenal, and an important read
Delicate Condition paints an unyielding and heart-wrenching portrait of pregnancy that reaches like a clawed hand inside your chest. I could not put it down
A propulsive modern update on classic horror with a clever ending that lets no one off the hook
Delicate Condition is a modern nightmare that will get under your skin in all the worst ways. Equal parts creepy as hell, thrilling and infuriating, this book needs to be read
Readers will devour the book to find out what's going on. The Ira Levin-like ending, with an interesting twist, comes out of nowhere
There's more than a hint of Rosemary's Baby about Danielle Valentine's latest dark thriller
