This book was nothing like what I was expecting. I was expecting a true horror novel. Not a perverse, overly detailed and grotesque trauma filled booklet.

People kept on telling me this was a super  fucked up book and you couldn’t unsee it after you read it and for most of it I wasn’t  seeing that. The scene were some what disturbing but nothing burned in your brain bad. Till like the last chapter like what the hell was that

I gave it 2 stars not because it’s bad but because it’s such a dark horror story that creeped me out and made me uncomfortable.

What. The. Fuck. Why did I want to read this again? It’s fucked up on sooo many levels which is the point, but I wanted it to be scary and creepy, instead it’s like pervert creepy. No bueno. The story of Mary was so hard to read, it made me feel physically sick. And I hated the ending. You’re telling me after everything Shyla just went through and listened to that she would feel compassion?! Ugh
