Read the trigger warnings before deciding if you want to read this book or not. It took a little to get into, but once I was hooked, I couldn't put it down. I was also not prepared for all of the heavy content/violenc/why it has trigger warnings.

4.0

This was a tough book to read. It kept me intrigued and I hated it but liked it. Kind of like how I felt about Dexter. Definitely a thriller. A lot of really difficult content.
