Actions of the dog:

eats from Gerald’s corpse

; Jessie’s past:

sexually abused by her father, he grabbed her breasts and ejaculated on her while she sat on his lap while viewing the total eclipse (he had her swear to never tell anyone and to clean up)

; Some self harm:

Jessie cuts her hand very badly with broken glass to slip her hand from the handcuff, partial de-gloving

This book was an absolute beast of a story. I burned through this book so quickly and it was difficult to put down, yet I didn’t want to keep going it was so disturbing. I shaved off a few points due to the sheer amount of incest in this book. I think that this could serve as a legitimate plot point, but in the case of this book it seemed to be purely shock factor. Despite this, the story was extremely well written and very addictive.
