Reviews for The Children God Forgot

[Nina Quartuccio · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Well let say I know more about English sewers that I need to but it made the story more horrid. The story was filled with child abnormalities, a murderous ghostly apparition, raw sewag and visuals that will make you cringe. After all that the led up to the end, to end it that way was such a terrible let down that I looked dumbly at my player. I literally couldn't believe it ended that way. The battle between good and evil was so quick and unbelievable that I thought the player jumped and I missed the finally. If you can live with the dreadful ending, the bulk of the story was was a true horror and suspenseful story. If I dwell on the end it's worth 3 stars but It would have been worth five stars if I could get past the end.

[KIMBERLY MOORE · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Was pretty good til like the last 5 chapters. Not sure what the bell was going on from that point and then it ended. Idk, read if you want, I guess it’s worth it.

I guess it's one way to write a book with all the roe vs wade...a horror book on abortion ?
