The parts that I enjoyed the most were directly related to the cat and mouse games between the main characters and the bigger threat at play. I had a harder time with main characters’ relationship pivoting/evolving. It seemed really abrupt at first and kind of shocking? To then have it be tender within days also seemed… unrealistic of both their personalities consider the walls they both had built.

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.
