This is a truly deeply disturbing tale told from a child's perspective. It's disturbing and made truly horrific as its from the first persons POV, with the same dialogue and language that a child would use. Angel really brought, not just the characters to life, but also just how there is nothing more horrifying than what a human is capable of.  It's a  brutal, yet a beautifully sad read. 
Heed the trigger warmings as for some,. it won't be an easy read, for others, it maybe a healing one.
