My first 5 star read of the year. Flynn is not afraid to go to those dark places, which makes for a great horror. It starts off casual, but slowly gets more intense as the gruesome details of the characters’s lives are revealed. An honest, gripping book.
My only critique is that this book could have been longer, the end felt very rushed.

Unsettling read. The twist was predictable. Prose/writing style was engaging but the content is DARK. Check triggers for sure.

A dark and disturbing debut novel. I was wrapped up in the story the whole time, definitely a thriller. This is NOT for the faint of heart.
