4.0

let me start by saying some of the story aspects felt unneeded to me, I think they were supposed to better explain Camille's character and all the shit she's been through but it didn't really add to the plot for example the SH and her relationship with John felt like page filler. Also the murder mystery although it was supposed to be the main plot felt more like a side story. However I did really enjoy the ending I think the implementation of the dollhouse was just the right amount of fucked up. Overall I enjoyed reading this book.

Dark twisty sad mysterious. Nicely written but kind of grim in a nasty environment.

A dark and twisted story. A bit of a slow burn but you easily get hooked. The twist at the end was messed up and I did not suspect it. Very well done.
