I guess also this wasn't going to be my jam from the start as I'm not a fan of the sociopath/serial killer POV. That said, Frank really is a unique voice and it doesn't waver.

I hate to admit that I enjoyed this book, but I really did.
Its a great horror/thriller read with a lot of very dark plot points and a twist that I wasnt expecting at all. (I am a bit daft though, I'll be the first to admit it)
If you're a sensitive reader I highly recommend thoroughly perusing the trigger warnings, as they'll definitely be needed.
All in all, if you're someone who can handle dark topics I'd recommend this to you.

This is a really odd book. I don't necessarily recommend it to anyone at all - yet I want others to experience what I experienced!catell's review against another edition
