Def a warning for SA within this book!! Graphic parts can feel emotionally heavy & triggering.

I loved the books writing style & how the characters connected. I liked not being able to recognize a pattern and guess the end. It throws you many ways.

I couldn’t put this book down. While super dark and challenging at times, Slaughter’s storytelling and attention to detail is unique and captivating. I liked that it was a different structure than most thrillers and didn’t follow the cliche pattern of some crazy twist at the ending but instead gradually built on the story throughout.

I would have DNFed because of all the overly explicit torture scenes but by then I was too far in. I don't understand why she felt the need to describe such explicit and horrific torture so many times (I think 4+ separate occasions?) and would have loved a warning
