I hate that I really liked this book. The writing grabs your attention and keeps it the whole time. I had to force myself to not read the whole thing in one sitting. Like watching a car crash and not being able to look away. 

There is some gore, although it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. 
That being said, there is a part in here that made me feel physically sick. Like, dread-inducing, pit-of-your-stomach sour kind of sick. This part was described more vividly than the gore. As the book progressed, I had the sinking suspicion what was going on, but I still was not prepared for when it happened. Check your TW! 

PS. There is a dog in one brief scene, but he’s a good boy and doesn’t get hurt :)
