Very, very gory. Check trigger warnings. I thought it was kind of predictable but I loved the sister relationship.

I really liked the plot and story line but just wasn’t a fan of the writing at some points. And they were just so many side characters it was kind of confusing to keep track of who was who. If you have a lot of triggers this book is definitely not for you.
