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.
