The depravity never stops. Still a decent read, but I reckon I wouldn’t read this ever again.

hounded's review against another edition

dark tense

4.5

Really good and very disturbing. At first I felt very lost in some parts of the book but it ended neatly and gave me a reason to re-read it and think about it even more! The characters were so good and consistent. It was a strange experience reading it but a recommended one. Look at the trigger warnings before reading!!!!!!!!!!!!
