We Need to Talk About Kevin meets Verity, and you will stare at the last page for a good few minutes. I mean, I'm going to need a little more on that...

This book unsettled a part of my being that reside deep within my core. I would find myself thinking over the deep and real weight this books held. I was so deeply engorged in this book that it felt part of my reality. The writing is stunningly beautiful and this author created network of characters and plot that felt different from anything I’ve ever read. It’s raw and real, and deeply moving.

What. The. Fuck. This book is so twisted and terrifying. I can’t imagine being so scared of a child in real life but this child is … I just don’t have words. I haven’t ever read a book like this. It’s a psychological thriller and is full of the most heinous acts committed by a kid with no remorse. The bigger horror would have to be being the one who brought that child into the world and having no one believe how psychotic your kid is.
