Holy hell.... first book that has made me physically uncomfortable, not gonna lie. Absolutely incredible, though. The satisfaction at the end was phenomenal. Immediately bought the next book

I know I was close to the end. It’s just…. So bad. It’s so bad. The misogyny. The unnecessary shock that doesn’t land as shock. I know people like this. It’s just too fucking much. There was a line about nipples that absolutely made me believe this man has never seen a real boob.

This was excellent. Definitely check trigger warnings. This definitely took an unexpected turn and I loved it, can’t wait to read Talia 2.

4.0

I don’t even know how to process this book. Did it leave an impression? Hell yes. More gore than I normally like, when it comes to helpless victims. I don’t have a weak stomach but this book tested my limits. The second half of the book I did enjoy, actually because I love revenge gore. Talia became quite the badass and I loved that she was taking out the bad guys in really gruesome ways.
