Tough read. I thought the first book was dark but man getting through the first half of this one for me was hard. So much of it dragged for me which is probably great for someone who likes suspense. To me it began to feel like a survivor’s guide at some point. I loved that their relationship was more stable or consistent in this book though. I couldn’t leave off on a cliff hanger!

There are so many trigger warnings for this book, it’s insane. I did not like it and the relationship this book has to women is terrible and insane. It doesn’t end well and it doesn’t start well. another TikTok recommendation that turned out awful. 
DO NOT READ.

This thing was really pushing the limits of what I want to consume as entertainment, I found myself cringing from some of the graphic sexual violence and some of the excruciatingly detailed murder scenes. It’s not for the faint of heart. There’s also a lot of choking and knife/blood play in the sex scenes, so if you don’t want to read that don’t read this book.

This books bread and butter is cringe trigger warnings, so if you are someone sensitive to explicit talk of rape, murder, mutilation etc, just don’t read this. If you though Haunting Adeline was bad this thing is 10 times worse

Even more trigger warnings in this one, please be careful. Very explicit and even I struggled to get through some scenes.
