TW: Sequestro, estupro, gore, snuff filmes, assassinato e stalker

A historia é sobre as irmãs Claire Scott e Lydia Carroll que 20 anos atrás a irmã Julia desapareceu sem deixar nenhuma pista, quando o livro começa elas estão em um período da vida de ambas em que não se comunicam mais depois de um certo evento que marcou Clair. Após a morte do seu marido Claire começa a fazer descobertas terríveis que viram seu mundo de cabeça para baixo e dão a chance dela se comunicar com a irmã novamente.
Eu decidi começar essa leitura porque o alugues dele estava como “disponível para todos” na biblioteca e lendo a descrição pareceu ser algo intrigante.
Quando eu finalmente terminei ele senti que estava me afogando em todas as informações principalmente porque o ultimo capitulo foi altamente alucinante e rápido.
Eu cheguei com a expectativa de um mistério mas já imaginando um certa conclusão, mas eu estava muito errada e o livro é bem gore como uma reviravolta que  revirou o meu estomago.

Escrita dessa autora é tão boa principalmente na hora de mais tensão em que começamos a descobrir as coisas com as personagens.

Acho que uma das coisas que eu gostei no livro foi que mesmo em meio a toda a coisas ruins e descobertas que começaram a fazer as personagens principais começaram a entender uma a outra, talvez tenha sido o trauma unindo elas dessa ao invés de separar elas.

E um livro pesado que trata de temas bem horríveis e eu não vou negar esse fato nunca, não recomendo para quem não tem costume de ler coisas desse estilo e até mesmo eu que ja possuo senti momentos em que eu precisei parar e tirar a cabeça dele.

Beautifully written, but a bit too dark and twisted for my taste.

Disgusting graphic sexual violence on most pages. I don't mind sexual content in books or even sexual violence if it is part of the story, but this was gratuitous and disgusting.

 This was so disturbing and creepy but in the best way. I read this relatively fast compared to how big the book is. The only reason I knocked a half star is because I didn't understand what made Julia and her family so special. I expected to find out, but in less I missed something it was never explained why.

Very, very gory. Check trigger warnings. I thought it was kind of predictable but I loved the sister relationship.
