MASSIVE trigger warnings across the board. this was definitely closer to horror in my opinion. videodrome inspired. bordering on being torture porn itself. still rocked

This one was exhausting for me. A lot of triggers throughout the book and vivid story telling h to at could make your stomach hurt. I would not be comfortable recommending to someone. She’s a brilliant author though.

Holy crap what did I just read?! The rest of Ms. Slaughter's books that I've read were great but this one?  Not so much. The mystery/suspense part of it were great and especially the big twist halfway through but were the graphic details of the violence really necessary? Absolutely not and after a while it really turned me off towards the book.

the first 100 pages are incredibly boring and felt like i was supposed to feel for this rich beautiful white woman. there are also a lot more twists throughout the book than at the end which leaves the reader kinda wanting more? HOWEVER once we get past that it’s quite captivating. it is very dark and graphic (possibly past the extent we’d expect) so watch out for that but i wasn’t able to put it down. read at your own risk bc honestly incredibly disgusting and unsettling

I really enjoyed this book. Devastating look into a family torn apart by a missing sister. While I was able to predict some of the twists, the details and other parts kept me very interested and caught me off guard. My final listening session (today), I started at 60% and listened to the rest. Really picked up in the end, despite the beginning not really even dragging. The actions of the main characters felt believable and detailed. Overall a good read.

This was incredibly violent and graphic, so I'd recommend reading warnings before starting.
