Definitely nasty, but well-written and unique too. So, so many TWs on this one. Emphasis on the extreme in extreme horror, proceed with caution.

This book was mostly just shock value but I actually enjoyed it regardless! Not sure how many people I’d recommend this to though. Insane amount of triggers.

Relies on shock value. The fast pace and short read does not make up for the story. 
 

 
I do not mind extreme horror or gore, but the topic of rape needs to be handled respectfully. 

The main female character has her body and trauma used for the sake of the protagonist, the ending is particularly disgusting. Sexual violence being used in service of someone's goals is vile.
