Typical to Slaughter’s other books this is filled with hard to read (and harder to forget) violence, blood, vomit and drug use. This was an interesting storyline that makes you think about your ethics and how far is too far to go to protect family. 

I loved the way Covid was mentioned in this book, without being a major storyline or anything. If you do read it I highly recommend you read the Author’s Note afterwards to gain some insight as to why Covid was mentioned.
