The writing and plot were compelling enough to draw me in - enough that I felt I needed to finish it. However the gruesome descriptions of sadist rape and sexual torture made me queasy and gave me nightmares the first day after finishing (TBD if these persist). Even some of the plot towards the end is extremely disturbing and gruesome. Saw this in a “kindle unlimited” suggested and would not recommend to a lay reader unless you regularly read horror. No idea if the authors other books are similar but I won’t be finding out - this one crossed a line.

This book was horrific, I loved it. Every single trigger warning, though.
