dark emotional medium-paced

3.5

This book is the epitome of an adrenaline rush if there ever was one. So sickening and chaotic and unbelievable. I honestly hate it but I couldn’t rate it too low because I was completely engulfed with interest and I couldn’t put it down. I speed read the last like 100 pages because all the craziness had tamed down and I was completely burnt out. Truthfully I’m just mind fucked.

Like its predecessor, this book is well written.  However it is very graphic.  The content is definitely not for everyone.  The characters were compelling enough to get me to finish the book but I had to skip through parts that were too much for me.  Pay close attention to the trigger warnings.

Pay attention to the trigger warnings. Your mental health matters. This is a dark book with a lot of trigger warnings and some hypocrisy. As a horror book and horror movie fan, I enjoyed this book and liked the spice.
