3.5

I really liked the plot and story line but just wasn’t a fan of the writing at some points. And they were just so many side characters it was kind of confusing to keep track of who was who. If you have a lot of triggers this book is definitely not for you.

4.5

This book is insanely intense and full of twists and turns. Slaughter does an amazing job at adding in details that seem minute on one page but on the next, they are the most important thing you may have read.

This book is not for anyone who is easily (or even not so easily) triggered. The triggers of this book are the main focus and unavoidable.
