4.0

i really enjoyed this read although i did think it was going to be a bit more gorey. once I realized it was less slasher and more psychological it really really grew on me. the characters are insane but i kind of love them ? they are NOT loveable. they need sever psychiatric help. but i love them.

I found this book to be an exciting read that got straight to the action of the plot. It was a great psycho thriller, that didn’t overstay its welcome or try to redeem its characters

Taking about 2 hours to read, Piercing was amazing. As a fan of the psychological horror genre, Piercing will leave you thinking about it constantly. Read in borderline one session I was unable to put this book down.
