dark medium-paced

4.25

I get the feeling this is a book that nobody should really like. The trigger warnings are endless, and if I was rating this book on the first 40% it would be rated a lot lower, because it was very disjointed and hard to follow at first. 

Once the pace picked up, so did the quality of the story and I kept going to see what happened to Julia, to see what Paul was really capable of, and to that extent, to see what Claire was truly capable of. If I were Claire, I’d have done much worse than what she did. He deserved much, much worse than just being shot twice.

Overall though, I actually really enjoyed the story, when I probably shouldn’t.

robin_reads's review against another edition

One of these days there will be a contemporary thriller that doesn’t revolve around horrendous r*pe. 
This is purely shock value and torture p*rn. Literally. 
I hate that I let BookTok recommend this to me.

I feel like this is the best thriller I’ve read in a while. Like a thriller that actually had twists and turns. This would make a great movie! A times the main character made me mad, but it was forgivable.

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.
