4.5

This book is insanely intense and full of twists and turns. Slaughter does an amazing job at adding in details that seem minute on one page but on the next, they are the most important thing you may have read.

This book is not for anyone who is easily (or even not so easily) triggered. The triggers of this book are the main focus and unavoidable.
