slow-paced

DNF I really wanted to like this book as I was enjoying the plot. But can authors please stop talking about underage girls breasts in detail every other chapter? It's giving S King.

An odd amount of sexualisation that wasn't really necessary for the story.

A dark and twisted story. A bit of a slow burn but you easily get hooked. The twist at the end was messed up and I did not suspect it. Very well done.
