I have read a lot of messed up shit. But this book is def up there. Not to mention ANY and ALL of this stuff could happen in the real world. That’s what has me sick to my stomach

Very, very gory. Check trigger warnings. I thought it was kind of predictable but I loved the sister relationship.

This is one of the creepiest and explicit books I’ve ever read. Points where I was so uncomfortable that I was nauseous. Loooong list of content warnings so do your research before you read this.

This is such a great thriller. The way the author writes the stories and the characters is amazing, and the dialogue seemed believable rather than forced. As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, this book still kept me on the edge of my seat and every plot twist got me. Going in I noticed it seemed a little long and was worried it would drag or have uneccessary side plots, but this was never the case! The only reason I’m not giving it a full 5 stars is that it includes quite a few extremely graphic depictions of sexual violence that I feel could’ve been toned down or done without. If this is something you’re sensitive to, please consider that before reading this!
