A bit too graphic for me - although this could be chalked up to me listening to the book in my car. Tied up well but a few too many conveniences for my taste.

I hated this so much. 

I committed to reading this for a book club and it wasy first buddy read otherwise I would have DNF'd it multiple times. 

The plot was not only twisty but also twisted. There was no need for the amount of descriptive scenes of torture porn throughout the book. 

My list of trigger warnings for this is about as long as each chapter in this book.
