This was a great, fast paced read. It was also extremely disturbing! What a sick fuck Paul turned out to be! I liked Claire and Lydia a lot. I find it hard to believe that they’d recover from the atrocities they experienced however. I will be thinking about this book for quite some time I imagine.

MASSIVE trigger warnings across the board. this was definitely closer to horror in my opinion. videodrome inspired. bordering on being torture porn itself. still rocked
