It has all the grimy tick marks for a page turner - but it lacks any coherence at all.  The story is all over the place.  It mocks victims of rape/incest by being so poorly done.  These are awful and traumatic events in people’s lives.  If written about they need to be done with care, not just have it thrown in to catch attention and perverse enjoyment.  I couldn’t decide if the author didn’t know if she was writing for fantasy or crime so she waffled.  Poorly done and in poor taste.
