The main female character got raped twice by the main male characte and I wasn't even half way through the book. Also the stuff about killing children made me feel nauseous.

This was an awful book. Badly written and full of gratuitous sexual abuse.

Kept me on the edge of my seat the entire book, I could not predict what was going to happen next. Some very sensitive topics that could upset some readers.

I DNF'd this. I went in blind just having been recommended it a ton by people and on TikTok. This shit is horrid. There isn't a single redeemable quality in any character, no good plot, just this freak stalking the FMC who has zero preservation instincts and I can guess it ends with her falling for him. The serial murderer man who's stalking her. No. It's so bad. It would be one thing if there was a singular redeemable character or portion of this story but there's not it's just twisted and fucking dumb.
