Delicate Condition

Description

Hush little baby, don't say a word...

A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BUZZ PICK!

As seen in People, Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Shondaland, Goodreads, and more!

...Mama's going to show you the horrors she's endured.

Anna Alcott is desperate to have a family. But as she tries to balance her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a grueling IVF journey, she starts to suspect that someone is going to great lengths to make sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments get swapped without her knowledge. Cryptic warnings have her jumping at shadows. And despite everything she's gone through to make this pregnancy a reality, not even her husband is willing to believe that someone is playing twisted games with her.

Then her doctor tells her she's had a miscarriage--except Anna's convinced she's still pregnant despite everything the grave-faced men around her claim. She can feel the baby moving inside her, can see the strain it's taking on her weakening body. Vague warnings become direct threats as someone stalks her through the bleak ghost town of the snowy Hamptons. As her symptoms and sense of danger grow ever more horrifying, Anna can't help but wonder what exactly she's carrying inside of her...and why no one will listen when she says something is horribly, painfully wrong.

DELICATE CONDITION IS:

"A twisty, page-turner with unsettling details and crackling writing that's also a timely critique of sexism in modern medicine." --Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here

"A spooky, devour-in-one-sitting story that's guaranteed to have everyone talking."--Leah Konen, author of You Should Have Told Me

"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." --Rachel Harrison, National Bestselling author of Cackle and Such Sharp teeth

"Beautifully written, unbearably tense, and deeply scary. A modern fairy tale that asks what we'd be willing to sacrifice for the thing we want most." --Katie Gutierrez, National Bestselling author of More Than You'll Ever Know

This was a tense, atmospheric, sometimes claustrophobic read and it really did not pan out like I was expecting, but in a good way! The elements of pregnancy and childbirth along with the occult really kept you engaged and I like how the ending was vague enough to keep you guessing a bit, but also wrapping things up quite nicely.

This book was such rollercoaster! It was so gripping, creepy and weird. It's twisty with a touch of horror. It reminded me a bit of Rosemary's Baby towards the end 😆. Definitely recommend!

I liked it. Especially the friendship aspect. I don’t know how I like seeing it come to real life on American Horror story since the posters all have spiders in them and I’m terrified of spiders
