Summary

A scholarship student who prefers the company of her dark imagination to that of most people, Samantha Heather Mackey is utterly repelled by the rest of her graduate fiction writing cohort at New England’s elite Warren University: a clique of unbearably saccharine yet sinister rich girls who call each other “Bunny” and seem to move and speak as one. 

But everything changes when Samantha receives an invitation to the Bunnie’s fabled “Smut Salon” and finds herself inexplicably drawn to their front door – ditching her only friend, Ava, in the process. As Samantha plunges deeper and deeper into the Bunnie’s world and begins to take part in their monstrous experiments, the edges of reality begin to blur. Soon, her friendships with Ava and the Bunnies will be brought into deadly collision.

Why I chose to read this book
Coming off the high of All’s Well by Awad (read my review here), I was hungry for more. I came upon Bunny and was hesitant to read it due to the wild reviews. However, All’s Well also had conflicting reviews and I absolutely loved it, so I thought there might be a good chance I would equally enjoy Bunny.

Thoughts & Opinions

My first concrete thought, once I was able to get over my initial shock, was WTF? WTF am I reading? I’ve never read anything like this. Is this typical for horror books? I wouldn’t know because I don’t read horror books. I had a hard time expanding my mind and accepting things that aren’t real, as part of the story. By the way, if you like bunnies, do yourself a favor and don’t read this book. Putting the complete madness aside, the Bunnies remind me of Mean Girls. The way they act, talk and dress. They’re supposed to be in university but act like high school girls. Samantha, who’s always disliked them, surprisingly joins the clique and becomes a Bunny herself. In the process, she loses her only friend.
