Absolutely gut wrenching story. Heartbreaking and mysterious that made me have to know what happened next. It’s heavy so take the time to process it and take care of your mental health but for those who love dark gory thrillers, it is perfect.

 This was a very different book for me based on what I've been reading. It was a little hard to keep straight the different POV's at the beginning, but that eventually gets a little easier. It was full of major suspense and it kept me turning the page. Do pay attention to any trigger warnings (r***, murder, torture, etc.) because there is a good amount of this book that actively describes what is basically torture porn. If you really like Criminal Minds and are into that sorta stuff this would definitely be up your alley!

Now it's time for me to go back to my happy romance for a bit lol

My reading experience started off really strong and then took a steep dive off a cliff. There were some twists early on that really had me intrigued but then the twists stopped coming and it just became an overly-detailed drag. This book could have been A LOT shorter. 

I knew almost nothing about the storyline going into it except that it was going to be extremely depraved and dark. And it was! But it felt… pointless. Like it was just there for shock value and nothing more. Like, why? TELL ME WHYYYY. 

I will say the best part about this book was the father. I’ll leave it at that.
