This book was interesting, but I would not in good conscience recommend it to anyone. It is really, violently, hauntingly graphic. Incredibly triggering - and I don’t consider media to be something very triggering usually. At the end of the book, there was a prequel which I liked MUCH better. The actual book itself was well written, but again, so graphic that I don’t think anyone should read it. Sorry Karin

Dark, gritty and addictive.

A great thriller is always such a fun read and although this didn't quite live up to my expectations it was still such an amazing read. I just loved that it was so different to the other thrillers that I had read and what a rollercoaster it was from the start.

A solid read. It gripped me and kept my attention, but the last 25% felt a bit gratuitous and mustache-twirling. Some genuine emotional moments. Just a bit too over the top near the end.

It’s very heavy and please take into consideration the trigger warnings. The depiction of sisterhood is very beautiful.

Gripping! But its SO dark and disturbing. Check the TWs before you read. I'll be looking over my shoulder for a while... 😬
