dark emotional sad tense medium-paced

5.0

Oh my god this book is absolutely heartbreaking, sickening and deeply disturbing. I cannot believe how evil people can be😭 
Those poor girls. Poor Kathy, Shane and Ron. 
I cannot simply fathom how any human is capable of being so evil. 
I truly hope those poor girls have been able to recover and live the life they’re able to now❤️

May Shane, Kathy and Ron rest in peace

5.0

As far as true crime goes, this is fast paced, fascinating, and like watching a train wreck happen. I apparently don't have the stomach for true crime, at least now when it comes to child abuse, because I thought this was horrific. I am giving it 5 stars because as far as true crime goes it is a fantastic book, but you better have a strong stomach to get through the prolonged sadistic torture Shelly Knotek dispenses on her many victims.
