This book needs a laundry list of trigger warnings,  but it was so good. It was really dark and very graphic. I honestly feel kind of overwhelmed trying to review it because there were so many feelings involved.

gripping and well-written but jesus was it depressing. the torture porn was why I DNFed this the first time but for some reason I decided to try again and just power through?  I kind of wish now I hadn't! I consume a lot of horror but the volume and depravity of sexual violence here was toooo much
