This book was GORY for sure. I understand why people are upset about it being marketed as a thriller instead of a horror. I personally think the trigger warnings listed on Storygraph are adequate and the book shouldn't be reviewed badly because you failed to read them. Overall, this book grabbed me and threw me for a loop. I couldn't trust anyone and it made my two hour flight delay much more enjoyable. I thought at first that the dad's letter POV was annoying but I soon realized that the letters served a purpose.

Bro is a PSYCHOPATH AND DESERVED TO DIE!! Fucking wild.

This one was rough. The story was engaging and I wanted to keep reading; while at the same time I never wanted to pick it up again. The violence was too much for me and there are some images that will haunt me for a long while. I would have enjoyed this book more if the focus had been more on the mystery aspect, and less on the SA descriptions.

Loved this book. Kept me on my toes and thinking about what could possibly come next when I wasn’t actively reading. Please check the trigger warnings before - Very graphic
