It wasn't the worst book I've ever read. But it was definitely something. 
I feel like I came into it expecting more horror themes, so it's really on me for going into it blind. 

There are a lot of smut scenes. Which is fine, I was just expecting more of a balance. 

But if you're looking for book where the smut is the primary focus with a little horror sprinkled in, it's a good book for you.

Harleigh, this was insane and I'm not gonna lie, I fucking loved this insanity. I needed it. The way I consumed, or maybe I was the one consumed?, this book was absolutely sinful. I have so many thoughts and feelings on this book and can't find the proper words to express in a review. The characters were an unbalanced mix of crazy, grief, deranged, treachery, and carnal lust. This was written so much like a movie plays out, and I can't believe all the twists, let alone the last few chapters! Mind. Fucking. Blown.🤯
