This is a hard one to give a star rating to as it is a horrific account of real life abuse, torture, and death. I went with just a middle rating for that reason.

My rating is for the writing itself, sometimes it was difficult to follow and poorly written. However, the contents were incredibly important to hear and I feel immensely for the victims. I couldn’t put it down and I imagine this story will haunt me for a long time.
