WOW (but in a bad way). First, this book should have started with a mile long content warning list. This book is dark and twisted in all of the worst ways and seemingly only to try and disgust the reader as much as possible.

Holy trigger warning if you’re going to read this. However, if you’re in the place to read this, DO IT! I couldn’t put this book down. It was incredibly dark, twisted, and sick but it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I think this is probably the most messed up book I’ve ever read.

I did guess that Paul was still alive since that fucked up mf seemed like he’d do something like faking his own death

. However, there were still so many unpredictable parts for me. Some scenes did make me feel physically sick to my stomach and had to take a breather after reading them. I will 100% be reading other books by this author as well. Wow wow wow. I thought the ending also really wrapped up this book nicely and also loved seeing the power switch where

Claire pulled Paul in with a kiss just to shoot him in the knee and absolutely annihilate him.
