This was my first book by this author, and I loved it. I couldn't put it down, I was so invested.

I WAS SO HAPPY WHEN SHE KILLED THEM, GOT HER REVEGE AND I LOVED MAKO EVEN MORE FOR HELPING HER GET AWAY WITH IT.

I went into this book blind, it was an incredibly dark and haunting tale surrounding one woman's lifelong battle with SA and DV. 

I enjoyed this book but I highly recommend looking up and checking out trigger warnings before diving in because there are a lot and only a vague mention of DV on the first page.
