1.0

Okay, so I absolutely HATED this one. I gave it an honest try, as I saw it had really good reviews on Goodreads. I found the book disturbingly disgusting. There are books that are weird yet good…. This was not it. This included everything considered taboo; it covered prostitution, drugs, bestiality, pedophilia, abortion, and much more. I can handle the vulgar language (do you know how many times they said “c*ck?), but this book gets downright foul. I wasn’t impressed by the writing style, and the story just seemed pointless to me. I did not find myself satisfied by the the whodunnit answers either, as it didn’t really come off as much of a mystery. If you have been waiting to read this one, I recommend just skipping it unless you are going to try it in the original language 🚫

there isn't a content warning tag for bestiality but, lo and behold, maybe there should be...
