dark emotional sad fast-paced

It doesn’t feel right to rate this book as it is a horrific telling of the true life heinous crimes and abuse of real people, some of who are no longer living as a result of this abuse, all at the hands of Michelle “Shelly” Knotek. This story absolutely enraged me, I found myself seething and yelling out loud about how much I hate this woman for the things she did to those she was supposed to nurture, care for..love. Idk if I have ever felt so sick listening to a book. She disgusts me as does her husband Dave. And listening to this book knowing that both of these sick individuals are now out of prison walking around free while three people are dead, while their three daughters will always be effected by the terrible things she did. My heart ached for her children and for Kathy and Ron. It’s so hard to believe true evil such as this exists out in the world. I pray that no one else falls victim to this psychopath and if that does happen the justice system should be held accountable for allowing her to only have to serve 22 years.

dark emotional sad tense

4.0

this is definitely nauseating and very very shocking and just crazy in general. and the fact it’s real is crazy, but i still have so many unanswered questions but overall really enjoyed this book just don’t read if you don’t like choppy books as it’s almost like mini chapters in chapters idk how to explain it, but i quite enjoyed how it was structured and the pacing though it was a lot of graphic stuff so watch out
