Trigger warnings: Blood, violence, discussions of past domestic violence, brief mention of sexual assault. 

I've been really looking forward to this book for a while now and was thrilled to see it as a Book of the Month selection for this month. I was not disappointed. The story sucked me in almost immediately and I genuinely had no idea what to expect until the very end. My only (very minor) complaint is that there is one small thing left unresolved toward the end, but I think that was likely intentional because the reader is supposed to draw their own conclusions. This was definitely one of my favorite reads so far this year and left me wanting to seek out more books by this author.
