If you like controversial or taboo subject matter in your books, this is it. Penelope is unapologetic in approaching the really dark material of this story. It is well written with no glaring errors. It kept me captivated even though my limits were definitely pushed throughout the story. The characters are very well written and are also highly traumatized.

Definitely a little odd as it’s family based but I was hooked!

This book is definitely messy, and for me there was an unexpected emotional numbness that came from the FMC addressing her childhood (more lack thereof) and a mute son, but all that is swept away because of the sheer messiness that this story is. Yes, she sleeps with her step-uncle, and his sons. And the entire town where The Peak is located is filled with only Neanderthal men who have no other personality than to sleep with the new girl, all of which happens with a ‘winter is coming’ panic. I don’t ever see myself recommending this book to anyone - and for the love of all things holy it is not a why-choose situation - but I can’t say that I’m mad I read it. And as far as spiciness is concerned, it was hot.
