*I was given an advance copy by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
Honestly, this book was just too much trauma. I couldn’t finish it. I’d read a couple of reviews (that the editor subsequently trashed which is a huge red flag) so I was on my guard but it was still just so much. I could’ve have done with a trigger warning. I wouldn’t have even considered this if I’d known how much upsetting content it contains. I like horror and I get that trauma and horror are intrinsically linked but half of the time the content in here didn’t even add to the story; it was just in there for shock value. Wouldn’t recommend.
