The misogyny and detailed descriptions of minors bodies ruined the story

3.5

it took me a while to get to the middle of this book, but then once the pace picked up, i was hooked by this dark, disturbing read that pulled me into a depraved world and refused to let go until the very last page.

if you're in the mood for a psychological thriller that's as chilling as it is thought-provoking, this is the book for you. just be prepared to be left with a lingering sense of unease long after you've closed the cover. i rated this 3.5 stars for its twisted depravity and deducted stars because the ending felt rushed and i wanted to delve more into the recover process
