I’ve really got to start reading the content warnings. This one felt really graphic and I found myself skipping a lot of scenes. It was a super interesting concept and I thought it was handled well enough, though I did find a few typos which sucked. I don’t think I would have picked this book up if I had seen the content warnings.

A fast read once you get into. The different POVs are a lot and I’m not sure they were all necessary but Helen Grace is a solid character that I plan on continuing to read.

Parts of this book were really good but other parts just felt extremely boring. It dragged a little and didn't really get that interesting until the end. I found that there were just to many povs which made it hard for me to get into the book. Basically the end and the parts about the crimes saved this. Everything else besides Helen was just blah.
