This was a hard book to get through and so is also a hard book to review. It’s such a powerful novella that I can’t imagine giving it anything less than 5 stars but this also isn’t necessarily something you enjoy reading. I will be thinking about this for days, the writing, the emotions, the look at what one person had to endure to survive, and how you make your story your own. Be aware of the triggers before reading this (kidnapping, torture, rape) but if you can, I would recommend Three Days in the Pink Tower, it’s a superb feminist

This is a very tough to read novella. It's inspired and heavily influenced by the author's own experience of being kidnapped and assaulted by two men for several days.  This is her retelling and her taking back her power and her helping her younger self through occult and tarot.  There are explicit descriptions of sexual assault and rape in this, so please be aware of you choose to read it.

Goddamn, that was rough. Deff check out the trigger warnings for this one. I gotta say though, the intro should've been an afterword.
