I...um...I, uh, I read this book.

First and foremost: trigger warnings. All of them. You name it, it's probably in here.

It is the darkest, cruelest, most graphically violent story I've ever finished. The fact that I finished it - shit I couldn't put it down - is, in my eyes, proof that this author is incredible.

The writing, the voice and the pacing are incredible; the story is unapologetically depraved and that somehow gives the reader just enough distance to avoid feeling complicit in the MC's journey of mayhem.

This book is so fucked up I'm concerned that people will judge me for having completed it. Please don't judge me. And if you're in the mood for a splatter-punk meets sociopathic acts of cruelty, you'll almost certainly enjoy this book.

If Regina George was a cannibal sadist.

The characters were very textbook and cliche in ways where you just think no one acts like that. Kim was very much… written by a man. These aren’t necessary bad things just something to note. 

Kim is fun and as a reader you get the most bang for your buck being in the POV of the antagonist. She’s a fucked up human being and reading about it is oh so interesting.

While a lot of gore happened, I found it a bit repetitive for the last chunk of the book up until the final showdown. 

Overall, it was good but not great. I’d recommend if you like splatterpunk.
