Review:

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own. 

First I have to say, this book will not be for everybody. In The Children God Forgot women are turning up with impossible pregnancies. When the babies are removed via cesarean section they are severely malformed and incredibly alive. And things just get weird from there.

While I found this book to be a little long, it was still interesting enough. There were a lot of things happening throughout the book that kept my attention. I didn't find it to be as scary as I anticipated however, it did have a few creepy moments. The story line was very dark and incredibly unique. 

As I previously stated, this book won't be for everybody but if you want something that is dark, twisted, and weird this could be something for you. 

Strong trigger warnings for abortion and miscarriage.
