Holy fuck. Was not super excited about this book going in but this was amazing. Kyrie was so cunty (complimentary) and Jack was so good. I loved everything about this book. This was one of those books that had me pacing around my apartment and kicking my legs. Gonna start shrieking like a chimpanzee or something idk. I have the zoomies.

NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED. HEED THE TRIGGER WARNINGS FROM THE AUTHORS.


I honest-to-God do not know how to rate this one. This book is on a whole new caliber for my reading genre.


"The unholy way in which I’m about to take her would make angels repent."

I feel like that should've been TW enough.

It's chilling. It does not aim to make you understand cold-blooded killers but it does give you lens to their activities. It's goosebumps-inducing. I was actually very afraid that the authors would try to make me sympathize with killers but no. This story truly is about villains, REAL COLD-BLOODED VILLAINS. Psychopats, if you will. Also, the way they think and their activities are disgusting, terrifying, and totally abhorrent.
