Gobsmackingly awful and gut wrenching. Not for the the faint of heart but one of the most hopeless, true horror stories I have read in a long time.

creatureof_nature's review against another edition

It was dragging on and wasn’t maintaining my interest. I didn’t care for the characters much.

5.0

I couldn't put this book down! Everything I tried, the chapters would end on such a cliff hanger, I was begging for more. 

I really enjoyed that each chapter either had it's own subplot or answered some questions while adding more. There were multiple twists I didn't see coming at all. I found the main characters to be well written with arguably one of the best villains I've ever encountered in a book.
