This was one of my most anticipated books this year, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. I really enjoyed reading this book, as much as you can enjoy a book about abuse. It was horrific and dark and gruesome but I am very glad I have read it. I continue to love Ava Reid’s writing and I am very excited to see more from her.
