wow. this was a hard read. not because it was poorly written, but because of how well written it was. seeing vanessa and her internal dialogue was really what made this for me. seeing into the mind of a victim that was so well executed was eye opening, truly

Very difficult read at times but this was so incredibly well written

3.5 because it should have been shorter/the side characters should have been fleshed out more.
Not a 'fun' book to read, but it's not meant to be. Deeply uncomfortable, at times truly repulsive, the darkness slowly, but surely, diffusing into you with every page. Certainly one that evokes emotions that you don't necessarily seek out to experience when reading for leisure so thread carefully.
