The book grew claws and scratched me. The words have left scars, I still have questions, which is to say the ending didn't satisfy me.The descriptions of his c*ck will haunt me for days, there are too many trigger warnings I felt this book truly needed a disclaimer before certain chapters. I was intrigued, scared and disgusted, sometimes all at the same time. I truly get why some people say it's one of those stories you'll either love or absolutely despise ,in my opinion the inevitable end is that you'll be left traumatized.
