I’ve never seen marital infidelity be so innocuous. I guess that’s just relative to stalking, rape, torture, murder, and human trafficking. This book is pretty dark. The darkness brought out a very specific and personal darkness in the protagonists, which made them compelling and believable. This is a great read but it is the antithesis of enjoyable or relaxing. I’m glad I read it but I’m also relieved to be done reading it.

Be aware, TW//graphic sexual violence, torture, murder

Not sure how to rate this book. It is highly disturbing. Made me sick to my stomach. The amount of thought that went in to this makes me wonder if K. Slaughter has had a psych evaluation…. Idk. I couldn’t stop until I knew what was going to happen. But I was so glad when I finished.
