Another one of those wtf did I just read. It's messed up and graphic, which seems to be right up my alley here lately.

The most unlikeable—nay, despicable—main character I’ve ever read. Disturbing, but a great read.

4.0

this book is very fucked up.
oddly enough though, i really enjoyed it - the author has an addictive way of writing and weaving the story together, leaving you wanting more, even though you’d rather not continue on. 
it is quite predictable, but not in a negative way, it makes you want to continue on to see if it’s truly going in the direction you hope it won’t, and creates such dread within you. 

not a book i would necessarily just recommend to anyone, and definitely read trigger warnings - there’s some heavy stuff in here. will definitely be looking into the second book soon.
perfect for a start to the halloween season.

lori steadily became such an obviously horrible person that i nearly DNF'd around 60% or so, and honestly? she somehow just kept getting worse, really probably wouldn't have missed out on much if i'd just stopped there. i appreciate that it didn't seem like the writing actually tried to excuse any of the awful, AWFUL shit she did but the way she blames all those awful things on her victims and seemingly never seriously thinks that any of it was HER fault just made her so insufferable to read about i was at my wit's end by the last chapter. you and your serial killer boyfriend are perfect for each other girl, hope you got what was comin for you in the end 👍
