This book needs a laundry list of trigger warnings,  but it was so good. It was really dark and very graphic. I honestly feel kind of overwhelmed trying to review it because there were so many feelings involved.

TRIGGER WARNINGS GALORE!!!!! Reader beware! This book had me taking mental breaks, because of how heinous and graphically disturbing the writing was. But the story, characters, and the backstories are very well written, and had the reader rooting for Claire and Lydia.

Pros of this story:

1. There is some closure, and vengeance.

2. Well written and thought out story.

Cons: 

1. HEAVY SA AND TORTURE!

2. The Heinous things that are described, becomes so brutal and graphic, that it feels overdone ans unnecessary.
