I was hooked and wanted to see how the story played out, but none of the characters were really likeable. It was too twisted to make it a book I'd recommend.

I can always tell when books whose plots center around abused women and children are written by men. The handling of traumatic and sensitive topics feel forced and contrite. Flippant and used as a cheap literary tool. It was very apparent in this book that it made me stop and look up the writer. The writing was disjointed and the story had twists upon twists that did nothing but drag the story along. Overall, meh. It wrapped up too nicely and the ending was just too unbelievable and a little ghastly for my liking.
