I feel like there’s a problem with me because I really, actually loved this book. It made me feel incredibly sick to my stomach and certain aspects of this book hit a little close to home - but it was certainly another quick and binge worthy read. I don’t know, Dr Berry sure does have a way with writing because sheesh. Be sure to always check trigger warnings and of course don’t jump right in unless you’ve done your research (tropes, trigger warnings, etc)
Es el tercer libro que leo de Lucinda y me sigue impresionando su horrible narración, los personajes tan insipidos y lo rara que es describiendo a autoridades en sus libros.

This was wild - definitely check your trigger warnings. Told in 2 teenage girls perspectives between then and now, about their captivity in a basement and life after getting out. Heartbreaking and terrifying, but couldn't put this down!

"He has an appetite for innocence and a very short attention span. It’s not a good combination."
My first Lucinda Berry book and man was it deep, dark and raw. I devoured this book in a day because I needed to know what happened next, I just couldn't put it down. This book tackles alot of heavy subject matter such as PTSD, sexual abuse, pedophilia, Stockholm syndrome, drug abuse, child abuse and murder. I was honestly disgusted, captivated, angry and heart broken at the same time. I really felt every raw emotion of each of these characters who had their innocence ripped away from them by a sick, sadistic man. Truly one of the most horrifying books I've ever read but worth the read.
