I started this book because wanted to read the cat and mouse duet however This book had me hooked and gripped from the page I wasn’t sure at first I thought it would be too gory for me but I loved it but it isn’t for the faint hearted. The smut is up there with the best smut I have read a 5 star read from me. 
Can’t wait to read the next books.

There’s a good plot buried DEEP underneath the unnecessary gore and shock value of this novella. The main character is twisted with an interesting backstory but she’s written poorly along with the rest. I know trigger warnings are presented by the author but I was not prepared for just how nonchalantly dark themes would be presented here. And the author makes gross generalizations about various addictions and mental illnesses. I will read the following book in the series as it is my understanding that it has little to do with this one. However, I am not expecting much.

“You’re not normal?”....
 “The interesting people never are.... "

This book was delightfully disturbing. Sibil gives Harley Quinn vibes but more unhinged. Quick read but such a wtf roller coaster. Chock full of triggers so proceed with caution.
