This one was very dark and gruesome and I liked almost everything about it. The only thing that didn’t really work for me was Kaiser’s POV, and I think I would have liked this book better with only Geo’s POV. Honestly, he didn’t add that much, the story wouldn’t have had to suffer much for it. But overall some excellent dark fiction!

Wow. This was such a fantastic read! Very emotional and challenging at times. I feel like I would have liked to know more about Kiser’s back story.

I didn’t put the pieces together about Geo’s son until right when Kiser & Kim were. I will say, I didn’t really like that Kiser and Geo end up together. Maybe it’s petty of me, but I didn’t think Geo deserved a truly happy ending. She didn’t deserve a horrible one, but idk, just felt wrong.

PLEASE read the trigger warnings before you start this book and be aware if you have any of them. I didn’t and had to put it down a couple times to process the
