I have all of the words and none of the words, and I certainly cannot rate this book. Not because it was bad. It was actually quite good, but I just don’t know how I feel. And it has almost every trigger warning imaginable.

Read TWs before reading this book!

The ending was predictable to an extent. The last chapter I did not quite expect to go down how it did. If you can stomach past the TWs, the story being told is actually well written.

Well that was disgusting. 

I’d seen this book being spoke about a lot on tiktok, but i didn’t actually know what the plot was, so i was rather curious to see what the hype was about and yeah, yikes. This was so disturbing in the best way. I physically recoiled whilst reading certain lines, and i’m gonna have some images burned into my brain for far too long. This definitely earns its title of extreme horror. 

I highly recommend checking trigger warnings and make sure you have a strong stomach before reading this

short read. got progressively more disturbing and depraved. Only thing stopping me from a higher rating is how fucked up everything in this is. Not a fan of fetish porn as horror
